Extreamly Slow Loading Times

LethaL ImpuLse · 08-12-2005, 09:39 AM

I have a DSL modem, and for some reason it's REALLLLYY slow. As in slow I mean it takes 5 seconds to load a small image, and about 30 secs-1 min to fully load a page. It has never been this slow. I use Firefox; is there anything I can do to see what's up?

Try the speed test at www.dslreports.com under tools. See how fast your connection really is. If it is way lower than promised, call your ISP and have them fix it.

You might also check for spyware/malware, you'd be amazed how many people are running with parasites and don't know it.
