Upload speed plummeted and ISP doesn't know why

I made this post in /r/broadband too but I didn't get any help so I'm trying my luck here.

I live in Washington and my ISP is TDS. Recently my upload speed dropped from around 4-5 Mbps to about 500kbps. I had two different TDS guys come out and they tested a dozen things and couldn't figure it out. I live in the country side and apparently the signal up at the main road is good, but the signal at the box on the side of my house isn't.

Everything was fine for years until two weeks ago when it suddenly just shit itself for no apparent reason. Has anyone had this problem with TDS and know why this happened? I need that upload speed for work. I was thinking about asking them to just re-wire the entire thing, but I don't know if they would charge me a gorillion dollars or even do it. It's like 100-200 yards from my house to the road.

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
