Much Slower Internet

I've been noticing how my internet has been going so much slower lately(excluding all the random times I lose connection for no reason, but thats a different story), so I figured I'd do a bandwith test. It has dropped by almost 2.2 mbps!! I don't know what could be causing that to happen. I am running windows xp, using firefox, and have a wireless connection. Thank you!

I think what may help is if you delete all your internet cache. Sometimes that slows the speed down dramatically.

Also I'd do a few spyware and virus scans because that also can slow things down dramatically.

If that fails then perhaps download a connection booster for free such as TZ Connection booster.
