I've had broadband for more years than I can remember and I've never had any problems with speed. I can download the largest pages in just a couple minutes at most. I installed my new modem just a week or so ago with no problems at all... Thank you for the suggestion. However, I hired an expert to come to my house and check out my computer a couple of weeks ago.
