For months now I've been blaming Comcast for bad wireless connections. That is until I got my first Smartphone.
One minute I'm buzzing all around the web and then the next minute pages won't load. Downtimes vary from short 30 second spats to sometimes more than an hour. While at the same time my phone leapfrogs from one site to the next as happy as can be.
This leads me to think that maybe something is running in the background that keeps me from having a continuous session.
Problem is I don't know how or what to check to find the culprit.
I have a Toshiba Satellite P55 running Win 8.1
Everything is always maintained as far as updates for the OS and all the general apps such as Java, Flash, etc.
Antivirus is up to date and malware scans come back clean.
I only use Google Chrome and recently I installed the beta version to see if that would help the problem. There was no difference.
At this point I'm not even sure what other information is needed to help find the answer here.
Phone works great all the time, laptop doesn't.
