I wish the problem was that simple. We don't have a limit on our downloads. (Probably because they refuse to give us a speed over 7 mb/s download...) Also, for the short time they did have limits a couple years ago, all they did was charge you extra. No throttling.

Nevermind. I found the problem. It's Microsoft ignoring my settings.

I thought we were getting unusually slower speeds than advertised until I found out there were new specs the modem didn't support. Cheap replacement and speeds doubled.

If this cheap modem from the ISP can't support their already painfully slow speeds, then they've got a problem.

Windows 10 is shit. I always have 90-100% of memory/disk usage because of Windows 10. I know a lot of my internet problems is from needing to replace the router but Windows 10 causes most of it. What are those settings and where do I find them?

I heard you could do something in the registry to stop automatic updates in Windows 10. But I wouldn't know about that. I'm on a really old PC.

Windows Update -> Advanced Options -> Delivery Optimization -> Advanced Options

They're just for adjusting how much and how fast you download and upload updates though.

Yeah, you should be able to. However, as you are messing with the Registry, you need to know what you are doing or you can mess up your computer real good. And back up any registry files before you change them! Number 1 newbie mistake!

Compuserve used to log me off every 30 minutes for being "idle" even when I was typing something online. What a bitch that was. But it didn't seem to affect online games.

Hmm but will it affect other things you're doing or just Windows Update?

Guess that won't help me much. I wish I still had the Windows 7 computer.
