It's certainly possible...what kind of net connection do you have?

I would think that a business like an internet cafe would have their own dedicated line...but if they were just hooked up to the same network node as you they could be using most of the bandwidth (especially if you are both on cable broadband).

Spyware then?

If your on dial up, it shouldn't affect anything.

Yeah if you're on dialup there's nothing they can do to affect your speeds. Dialup gives you a direct line to the phone switch, and from there straight to the internet - it's not being shared with others. The net cafe will have their own leased line, not dialup.

I'm with drtyfrnk - sounds like a spyware infection of some kind. Get some removal software and clean out your system.
