there are SO many things that COULD be wrong here...
who buys a desktop anymore...I don't even think the stores in the USA even sell them...
if you use a laptop you are a dinosaur...telephones and those surface things are the norm.
he could have conflicting cards inside
he could have a virus
he could have windows opening up one after another
he could have not enough memory
he could have windows 8 or something else that "eat" memory
his modem could be incompatible with his wireless
more and more
he needs a computer guy out there and PAY him (geek squad)

Should be enough. 1.6 - that he claims he's getting - should still be enough if it's honest 1.6. Seems like it drops connection shortly after
start-up every time. Something is wrong with the comp or Windows that it came with, or setup.

The dropping the connection was a problem with the pc connecting. Re configured pc internet connections and that was solved. Tested modem as per
Wallys suggestion, and that was 2.05 Mgps Tested with various devices and 2 modems, connected via hardwire and wireless. All devices were 1.5 to 1.9.
Problem is either the wire to the house, which will be changed or the wire at the road, which they are in the process of changing. New from Saul's up
around the bend to the estuary. He is now able to load 20 new tabs, play poker and check the news streams.

tabs...games...new streams...all bandwith suckers
with a slow internet everything you aren't using has to be turned off
cell phone too...it'll cut your speed
what was the speed when hard wired to the modem and eliminating the router
did you use another computer to check speeds

BS....we know having lots of windows open, etc use bandwidth, just saying that it can now handle that load, that download. We were testing.
Running an ipad and the pc are no problem at 1.9
Read my post again for speeds and that we used various devices ( ie a pc and a tablet)
It is dsl, only uses a modem, wifi for the house and immediate area.

can you change the "channel" on the wifi
sometimes that will slow the connection
especially if the neighbors have the same one
do you receive the neighbors signal too
my old router (wifi) really slowed the new internet here...
bought another then fine...the old one was not compatible

He has the telmex modem which incorpoates wifi, one unit, no channels. No neighbors either. You are on sat., different ballgame than dsl. His wifi is
fine, the incoming signsl is weak. Over and out.

Well thanks for all that tried to help, the problem still persists, it opens a few tabs (pages) then it shows NEW Tab, and does not open, unless I
turn comp.off and restart. Then the process starts again.
Have contacted TM again, and hope to obtain new cable from street post to the house, as WA had mentioned.
Will see?????
Thanks again to all.

having slow internet wont cause this issue.
how much "ram memory" do you have? (working memory)
what version of windows are you using? (windows8 takes double)
why are you opening several tabs at one time...and not oneata time
this really sounds to me like a memory problem
this would be why you need to re-boot
are you using a virus program?
recently avast was conflicting with windows defender and was slowing my internet...cant run both right now
you may have a virus that is sucking bandwith...
did you run a virus scan?
I had slow internet for years...its slow and you wait...no need to re-boot unless you are out of memory
my advice is to take the computer over to HUGO and see how it runs there...let him scan it for viruses and see how much memory you actually need
