Q: My SBC DSL will slow down significantly after a few minutes after I restart my computer . it is connected through a router but now the same happens if my modem directly to my ethernet card.
Best Answer: You might be getting static or noise on the line.
Make sure all your lines are clean, no kinks, no nails through it, and no bad or loose connectors.
It could be a bad line or NID – or possibly a bad modem.
When the tech comes out, they will check your signal.
Low or no signal = bad wiring or equipment.
It might help if you set your home system(s) up for static IP.
(pure speculation) Those CWMP messages might be part of a system where Verizon pushes out firmware updates. It is possible that something there went wrong.
If you have certain ports blocked, or have turned off the 'phone home' feature on the DSL modem, this can block VZ's process.
Re:I went 3 years without re-installing windows 98se and it still ran well. You take care of it, it took care of you. If you installed all kinds of crap, let spyware run wild, didn't update drivers or defrag…. well you were asking for it.
Re:Not an uncommon issue with zonealarm even back in my tech support days, buts its still the best software firewall for noobs I think. Just remove it and then reinstall it once a year. Think of it like windows 9x
Re:Zone Alarm is a piece of crap. Have had enough fits on different windows OS. Here is the thing… you can shut down the interface but the damned thing will still keep blocking packets. You have to actually set it to not restart, then reboot to be totally clean. Uninstalling is a PIA too, but I recommend uninstalling over tinkering with it anymore.
Re:No. That is what I found on google also. There were many cases that user either killed the process and then restarted the service, or just turned it off indefinitely and it worked. good call.
Re:A little off topic, I don't use a firewall right now, so I don't know much about zone alarm. But everytime I have problem(hardware or software), and search for a solution on google, I always see at least one possible fix being to turn off zone alarm. This always leads me to think that there must be some major problems with their software. Am I wrong about this assumption?
Re:maybe try uninstalling zone alarm, and then reinstall, restart the computer, and try it. if that does not work, try killing the zone alarm service, true vector, and then restarting the entire program. If you do that and it doesn't work, I would just ditch zone alarm and use something else. good luck.
Re:Hmm, apparently when I disable my firewall it starts to work again..I'm using Zone Alarm. Why is that?
Re:Actually it seems to just disconnect me after a few minutes..not just slow down.
Re:Is it the throughput itself that is slowing down, like if you constantly run speed tests for the first 5 minutes, or does it go way up on the start of a download and then come way back down? what is the rated speed of your dsl, and from your testing or just off the top of your head, what sort of download speed do you get?
