SO got a new G73 from Best Buy for XMas (yeah me, love this comp). However I now need to update/patch some games, and my connection speed is pretty much. About 1/3 of what it was in the same locations (using wifi only). The security software is allowing downloads but I am curious if there is anything else I should try.
A bit more info... Old comp was also a laptop with only 802.1 b/g/n built in, connection speed usually ranging 200-850ish, network dependent. Only antivirus was windows 7 firewall, at least to my knowledge.
New comp has Kapersky, Win 7 firewall, and built in Wimax card, connection speeds thus far have topped out at 95ish, on the same network that was reaching 325 on the old box.
Thanks for the info.

Lag and connection speed can come from many things man.
If your using wireless at home, any number of things could be affecting it: people, Christmas tree, phones, etc. If your are out someowhere it could just be the connection isn't doing well today.
As for the speed side of it, you have to think, "How many people are downloading this today". You also need to consider that this is a huge shopping day and there are probably ALOT of people shopping online and saturating the network.
I could go ON AND ON, but I think you'll get the point.
