3315 down 510 up, but I have 9mbps available here as well and upgraded to it a couple months ago. I didn't notice any speed change at all, called the cable company and they said "Oh, well that modem you have is not capable of any faster speeds" and they supplied it to me to begin with!!! Then they told me "you can purchase an upgrade modem from us for 75 bux" Golly they are robbing me! I said I would wait.... How much you pay a month for 9mbps, if you don't mind me asking. I think it was like 55 bux here.

check for viruses, spyware, defrag the hard drive, check to see if there are files and programs that you don't need or use anymore cluttering up
at worst, format the hard drive and reinstall everything.

I have norton anti-virus installed which scans every now and then. Always comes back with nothin.
How do i defrag my hard drive or check for unused programs? Keep in mind...im not very computer literate. I will def not be reformatting.
