After changing ISP I have faster download speed but a bunch of new connectivity issues.

I recently change my ISP from Hawaiian Telcom to Oceanic TWC. With Hawaiian Tel I was getting about 15mbps down. Wth TWC I am getting ~55-70mbps down. However the issue is that even though my internet speed shows that it is faster, I am having a number of issues with my connection. My old connection was perfect it is just that downloads would take longer and loading videos would take longer. The amount of issues with my new connection almost makes me prefer my previous ISP with slow speeds but no issues.My most frustrating issues involve my PS4. I have my PS4 connected directly to my modem and am using a router for my wireless devices.

  • First off, my PS4 issues. I am having issues loading friends' profiles, connection issues with matchmaking and other minor issues. I have never experienced the issues when I have Hawaiian Tel even though my speeds were slower.

  • I am having issues while watching youtube on my macbook Pro now as well. I was able to watch 1080p and 1080p60 vids before TWC without issue. I needed to wait a little for the grey bar to load so It doesn't buffer but other than that it was running perfect. Now with TWC I am only not able to properly watch 1080p on youtube. Even though the grey bar is far in front of the red bar it buffers and plays in slow motion and stutters. There are issues with videos that are playing in 720, too. When I click on a video it buffers for about 5-10 seconds before playing but after it starts playing the grey bar doesn't load and I am able to only watch a few seconds before the red bar catch the grey and then the vid buffers.

What could cause these problems from arising since I changed ISP?

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
