Anyone know why this could be? Its not the whole computer just the internet. Ive run my trend-micro virus protection and the 37 spyware programs it came up with all passed. Any advice?

upgrade

got dial-up?


i also had this problem with IE. i switched to firefox, now i can blow the doors off of anything i access.

Sometimes I just have that issue, as if the cable modem has just decided to go at a crawling pace. Usually just closing the browser and/or waiting a bit helps it fix itself. If not, then as stated above, maybe there'* something else.

My IE blows the dust off of firefox.

my firefox is supercharged :P

i already use firfox, and ive tried ie, no difference. as far as upgrading goes, i'd love too, but its taking too long and timing out. i do have cable, ive tried resetting the modem and the router, and ive restarted twice

how do you do here?

My car is supercharged and a bonne....what do you have??? LOL

You can also look here, and find a speed test server close to your location. It'* sometimes not so accurate to test from a server further away.

It sounds like your internet connection is slow, for some reason. Fixing your pc will not help. If your bandwidth is less than you are paying for, call your provider and complain.
