Ok it seems there combined. I personally would call your ISP then. They can better assist you than we can. I asked that because if you used a separate router alot of the time they won't help you.

You might be capped, call your ISP to be sure.

okay thanks anyway

Could be that there's interference with the card, or that there's a malfunction, too. If you can, could you tell us the type of device it is?

 

 

 

(Look under Control Panel - System - Device Manager, or type "Device Manager" in the search bar in Vista. It should be the "Modem".)

 

 

 

If you can't find that, then you might want to have your mom talk to your ISP, or Internet Service Provider. She'll be able to learn whether or not you have limits on your broadband.

He has an external modem. As that is the way it is for broadband. So it won't show up in device manager as it isn't part of the system. You could try the network adapters as that is what takes the cat5 cord from router/modem and puts it into your pc.
