What indication do you have that it is losing speed? Could your cable provider be busy/slow?

I'm having a problem with my cable modem loosing speed. The only solution is to reboot the computer and the modem. Rebooting the modem doesn't work.

Is this the right newsgroup for this kind of problem?

I run my ISP's speed test so I can see my connection has slowed down.

Did you read my question? I run the speed test, see that my connection has slowed to a crawl, reboot the modem and the computer and the speed is back to normal. My ISP says they can't help since rebooting solves the problem. What connection software is being reset when I reboot?

I use the MSMVP HOSTS file which is rather large but rebooting shouldn't do anything if that is causing the problem?
