Ok, I have a fairly decent connection, 3,000kbps, 20 gig limit...

The new month has just started, i did not go over last months quota...
but for some reason this month when i try and browse it is extremely slow, and most of the time fails to find the page, this occurs ONLY when browsing though. Xbox Live and Downloading torrents still work fine..

Specs..

Windows Vista Ultimate
DI-524 Wireless [But Using Wires]
Firefox 3 and IE7/8

Help...

Maybe HTTP traffic is really busy in your area, are you in a densely populated area?

close your torrent client and p2p shit completely and then see if browsing works. if it does, you very likely have a case of the max half-open connections limit being reached, in which case you should try apply that eventid 4226 patch to remove the stupid limit.

tried it before, it does not affect the situation.

get tcpview, and with your torrent clients closed, open it, and see if you see a ridiculous amount of connections with TIME_WAIT status, or overall just a lot of connections. if you do, then they might be left over when your torrent client was trying to rape your socket stack and they all got stuck in the queue and now windows is confused as hell. so, in conclusion, try rebooting and see if browsing works, before you open any torrent clients.

and in fact, it would be worth applying that eventid 4226 patch regardless, as I've found that windows can be quite temperamental with how it decides to do stuff when it's only got 8 half-open connections to work with, and it does no harm anyway (as long as you aren't infected with worms).

.. that just reminds me, it could be a worm creating 100 threads and trying to find exploitable machines by scanning large IP ranges, which obviously wouldn't happen in linux. if it is, you'll see lots of connections in tcpview when you try.

If you can, dual boot Ubuntu and try browsing in that. If its speeds are fine, we can pinpoint the problem to be OS related. Not router. Also try a diffrent browser to the one your using, eg opera, FF, IE8, Safari and etc.

EDIT: Woops sorry you allready have done that....
