but when using the desktop, the internet will sometimes be fine, and at more of times it will be very slow or it will automatically show me the page cannot be displayed page.

Half-open limit fix is a program designed to change the maximum number of concurrent half-open outbound TCP connections (connection attempts) in the Windows system file tcpip.sys.

Microsoft first introduced this limit in Windows XP SP2 (Service Pack 2) and is present in later versions of Windows. This was done to try to slow the spreading of viruses and malware from system to system and also to reduce the impact of infected systems participating in DoS (Denial of Service) attacks.

This limit makes it impossible for Windows systems to have more than 10 concurrent half-open outbound connections. After 10, new connection attempts are put in a queue and forced to wait.

Therefore, the speed of connection to other computers is actually limited.

P2P (peer-to-peer) programs (µTorrent, BitComet, eMule, P2P TV etc.) are generally the most affected programs. As they use up all 10 of the half-open connections, other Internet activity, especially the loading of web pages, can be extremely slow. The delay before the beginning of opening can make some tens seconds. This happens regardless of the speed of your Internet connection.

really suspect that other programes like BT etc is running at the back ground. May even be leeching software. Sometime updates from various software also cos slow down. Means prompts to install or telling u new update available.

Press ctrl + Alt + del use task manager to see what are the processors running.....sometimes is evident there.
