Virtual Machine Internet Slow

So I'm running Windows Server 2008 on VirtualBox as part of an IT course I'm doing and I've bridged connections between a local domain on the virtual machine and the internet where I'm doing the course and the internet is painfully slow. The first adapter is a NAT and the second adapter is an internal network. I'm trying to load a page and it's frozen halfway during loading. This is relatively new to me so please excuse my lack of knowledge and experience.

So what's your question?

I was wondering whether there was a way of speeding up the internet on the virtual machine.

You should use a bridged adapter if possible.

My native language is C++

what hypervisor are you using? if vmware or xen, have you installed ~tools? a lot of times the hypervisor will use a super generic NIC driver for compatibility, but it limits bandwidth to 100Base T. Install ~tools and it should give you gigabit.

ESXi SysAdmin

I have more cores/threads than you...and I use them all
