A couple of days ago, I reported this. PCCW did not pull thru, so this morning, I placed an order for So-Net Broadband service. There is no guarantee So-Net would pull thru either, as they only support residential installation, but they said they would come and try to install and no charges if they failed.
The reason I decided to switch to broadband in the office after all these years is that in the past two weeks, my modem has been extremely slow. I thought it was the ISP’s modem pool problem as both IE and Firefox were slow.
This afternoon, while updating my Avant Browser, I found Registry Medic listed on their site. I decided to give it a try. The unregistered version only fixes 5 problems each scan, so I went on kept rescanning until all problems were fixed.
What do you know, that for some reason cured the modem problem! And the problem was simply virtually no data passing thru the modem. Everything else ran fine before the fix without slower than the usual speed.
Disclaimer: I am not exactly sure what I was doing with Registry Medic. I ran it as a last attempt to fix any unseen problem and was going to reinstall windows entirely if anything went wrong. So, make sure you know what could be deleted in the registry before you do any fixing with it.
WhaUSay?!
