    Why is my internet is suddenly slow for no reason?

    I use Verizon FiOS and my connection has suddenly slowed down for days now. I did everything I could; rebooted the router, checked for spyware and viruses, changed some things in registry to help speed up connection, tweaked firefox's settings and internet explorer's, defraged, cleaned up the hard drive, changed my WEP key, and even rebooting the computer.


    Nothing is working at all. The router i have is an actiontec MI424WR one and its firmware is up to date. When I do a speed test, the results show the speeds that should be running, but every site I go to is slow.
