Yahoo takes 90 seconds to load on DSL?

It shouldnt be possible...\nTry start run type "cmd" enter, black window up and type "ping www.yahoo.com" enter, if time < 100ms, and no request time out you should be fine.\nCheck cable connect to modem, \ninstall anti-virus software and update it to latest, do full system scan.

Almost all mail clients try to download the mail for 5 minutes (300 seconds) max. If the connection to the server cannot be established within that it returns an error.\n\nBut in the case of a browser that works on HTTP protocol, it can work faster.\n\nThe only solution for this to upgrade your connection to a faster one.

Sometimes yahoo slows down. \nTry turning off computer. Then turn off modem and router. \nTurn on modem, wait 30 seconds. Turn on router, wait 30 seconds. \nTurn on computer, enjoy!\nIf still a problem with all webpages check out your internet service provider. If its just yahoo, go to yahoo help.

its probably your internet connection. you should get a faster one cuz yahoo is usually pretty fast for me. to make things faster try downloading a program that checks for adware and get rid of it since it can slow down your comp while you're on the internet.

DSL is soooo much faster than a dial-up!  My late husband/lover had a dial-up, and he didn't care about the speed.  I thought it was enormously frustrating how he had to wait and wait to do anything.  So I got DSL when I inherited his computer.  Same hardware, otherwise same software, but now it's usable.  I could not be involved with Yahoo! Answers if I had to sit and wait for everything: I'd certainly never have gotten to level seven!!!

Do you mean that only Yahoo! will open in IE? Perhaps it's because your IE's connection settings are not correct and so only pages it cached (like Yahoo!) are loading.

Agree with above. Make sure your speed settings are set for your DSL. Just got a news letter from techrepublic a day or so re QT problem. They had link to QT to down load the patch. That was in this past week, so u may want to check on that if you haven't got it this week. I don't know when you d/l the up date.

it might be slow because yahoo has a lot of member connecting to it throughout the world and it could be slowing the server down or because your isp has a lot of users logged onto it.

You can't really "speed up" dialup. or any connection for that matter.\nAs for your browser, try running windows update, or update whichever OS you use.

At a guess, you may have an "upstream" proxy.  Your ISP or network provider may have a proxy that is invisible to you, but still caches pages.\n\nWhat url are you trying?\n\nFor instance, do all of these return the same 2 week old content:\n\n  http://my.yahoo.com/index.html\n  http://my.yahoo.com/index.html\n  http://my.yahoo.com/index.html?test\n\nDo you have another browser you can try?  For instance you can download and install Firefox for free from \n\n  http://www.mozilla.com/

Probably the Yahoo server is a little slow your end and your browser is waiting for it to respond. I don't think Dell are any worse then anyother computer manufacturer.\nReally same sort of parts to any other like for like but just badged different on the box.

After any kind of broadband, dial-up is going to PAINFULLY slow.  Web sites are adding more & more graphics all the time, not to mention the time it takes to load all the adds.  So it will only get worse.

just to let you know - this has nothing to do with YOUR computer.  It all has to do with Yahoo!, not your computer.\nNeed I say again?\nYou are probably doing something wrong, or its just your internet.
