check your internet download and upload speeds here\n\nDownload Speed\nhttp://www.pcpitstop.com/internet/Bandwidth.asp\n(Ex.  Mine is 5081Kb/sec)\n\nUpload Speed\nhttp://www.pcpitstop.com/internet/BandwidthUp.asp\n(Ex. Mine is 1295Kb/sec)\n\npost the results.  Contact your ISP and ask them if they are having problems and see if they can tell you what your DL and UL speeds SHOULD be.\n\nAlso, in response to funQT's post below, deleting your cookies is fine - but your temporary internet files, while they can and should be deleted every so often, actually speeds up your system.  Certain content on websites is downloaded directly to your PC for faster access when you revisit the page.  Instead of loading everything again from the internet, it loads directly from your hard drive - thus increasing the speed in which the page loads.  For pages that are uploaded frequently, you will want to delete this to get the latest version of the page, not the old version that was cached.\n\nCheck for spyware, as well.\n\nFirst of all, in response to notrix, not everybody has the "two computer" icons when connected to the internet through broadband.  I know I don't.  \n\nIf you click the links I posted above the websites will test your download and upload speeds.  You may want to try it a few times and get an average.  24Mb/sec is probably the internal transfer rate of your network card, not your actual external net speed.  If you are using newer DSL service (they've recently upgraded their speeds), you can expect to get anywhere from 256Kb/sec to 3Mb/sec download and 128Kb/sec to 1Mb/sec upload on average (just a ballpark, I didn't actually research the speeds) - this is also dependant on what type of service you have with the provider.  Usually they offer multiple options where you can pay more to get faster connections.  However, with DSL - the farther you are from the host, the slower your connection.  Whereas with cable, the distance is not a factor, but the number of people online that are in your specific node will affect speeds.

Lots of things cause slow connection: ISP is slow, you have a virus in your pc,, let me help you if you can't get clear connection herosam2002@yahoo

Maybe your ISP has a lot of cache for Yahoo and so is slow\n\nOr maybe the server of Yahoo is busy\nIf you open Yahoo at a frequent time, try changing this time to someother time and see...maybe that would be better, as a lot of people may be accessing the Yahoo Server at that time

There can be a couple of reasons.\n\nMay be connection is slow.\n\nCheck the TCP IP settings too!

u prolly have a dial up modem - which is slow. if u had a cable modem or dsl things would be better. also u should check ur yahoo privacy options 2 make sure u got ur yahoo music "on"

It could be that the dsl is not the problem.  Other reasons the internet might slow----viruses or your hard drive is overloaded.

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.

Ur internet speed is very slow. Use dsl connection instead of dial up. Such problems will never end on dial up connection.

run speed test for your net connection.this error appears mostly when you have problems with net connection.if it s slower than it should be contact your internet provider then;)

There are dozens of programs available to automatically configure for faster internet access, even on a dail-up connection.\n\nTry Cablenut408. It's free & very easy to use - simply load the profile that fits your internet connection setup and OS type.\n\nDownload a copy from \nwww.cablenut.com\n\nAlso download Cablenut_Update file.\n\nGo & look under the internet category from any popular software download sites like C/Net Download.\n\nMost are Sharewares and some Freewares.\n\nGo to Keygen.us for serial/cracks for the shareware version.\n\nThe only thing that physically make your internet goes like the demon is Broadband connection!

well probably b/c dial-up is notoriously slow. or you might want to invest in getting an anti-virus program and maybe a fire wall. or you might want to de-frag your computer.

I THINK ITs because,,, ur internet speed is abit slow

This is likely becuase there is something wrong with your internet connection. If you're using a fast-connection, try resetting your modem, rebooting your computer, or renewing your IP address. In any case, your computer is probably somehow not connected the way it should be.

There is something wrong with the server that u go through when u connect to the internet.  Nothing u can do about it.  It will be recognised by your service provider and fixed. Usually doesn't take too long.

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.

Note sure how you tested the speed, but you should first use a connection speed test program (many out there, for example http://reviews.cnet.com/7004-7254_7-0.html). Your BB provider may also have a test program. \n\nIf it looks like the speed is still slow afer testing, there is little you can do on your computer (download accelerators do not help w/ large files, just web pages), and you need to call your BB provider to see if the line to your house might be noise (in which case they will automatically throttle the speed), or you are too far away from the CO (which limits the maximum speed of your connection)
