Step 3
If there was no major difference with your internet speed test, please power-cycle your GE-ONU (modem) by unplugging the power cable for 10 minutes.
After it finishes the power-cycle and your router reconnects to the internet, please proceed with the speed test again.
PROBLEM:
Every once in a while some IP addresses will suffer from different forms of attacks over the internet, which can increase the load of your bandwidth thus causing the decrease in your internet speed. Changing your IP address will erase this issue completely, if your anti-virus is up-to-date and your PC isn't being specifically targeted.
SOLUTION:
Keep your anti-virus up-to-date and don't randomly open links and messages, if you are unsure of the sender. If you find your internet slowing down again, just power-cycle your modem again.
