I am on a University connection plugged into the wired connection. About 50% of the time I am using my computer, my internet runs very slow. It takes me ages to buffer any streaming videos online, my Xbox can barely run Xbox Live, and any games on my computer are lagged.

I run Windows 7. My roommate plugs into a different ethernet jack in the wall and his connection is great.

Any suggestions to fix this? It's very frustrating. Thanks

If you connect to the same jack as your roommate, do you get the same performance as he does? – Paul Jan 25 at 4:24
