Why is my internet surfing so slow?

beedubaya · 09-23-2004, 06:48 PM

Lately my internet surfing has gone to snail speed, and it takes forever just to get an image. Sometimes, the images don't even come and I have to right click and click "show picture" to get them. I run a speed test though and am getting in the area of 900K both upstream and downstream. What could be slowing down my surfing?

Well, it's certainly not a slow CPU, that's for sure. How many computers are on your network or is it just yours?

Sometimes firewall or anti-virus settings can seem to slow the connection down.

*sob* I'm back on dial-up now, so I guess I have no hope of speeding it up.
