    Hello guys! I recently reformatted my computer. I have all the latest updates installed, but my internet becomes super slow after maybe 2 minutes after login.

    It's not really the internet that's slow though.. It says "connecting to *website here*..." every time I enter a webpage for a really long time, but after it's connected it's highspeed again, and it downloads everything like it should.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    It might be your IPS DNS server. If you are in europe try changing the DNS server to 141.1.1.1
    That one is pretty fast in my experiance.

    Shut down all your computers, unplug your router and remove the Ethernet cable that provides the internet from your router. Leave them unplugged for about 10 minutes before plugging everything back in.
