623.9 kilobits per second

Communications 623.9 kilobits per second
Storage 76.2 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 13.4 seconds
Subjective rating Not bad

for cable I seem to think that is horrible since I have msn,internet,and files that came on comp only I just reformatted whole thing.
what would I buy to make this thing get up to speed?

You should use any antivirus other than nortorn...

Anyways,do you have any other stuff that accesses the internet?

Any spyware or adware removal tools installed?

MSN sucks for cable just use like internet explorer. Because if you have msn as isp, then it's probably horrible dial-up o.o

Only thing you can do is search for a better isp for internet speed.
