Try resetting your router, if your running a network.  The router table in the router could have some of the ip addresses messed up.\n\nI had trouble accessing some websites and a few were very slow loading.

Thats all you get! sorry\n\nIf you feel the performance is sluggish for what you pay, call up ISP perhaps the line is down.\n\nor you could try tweaking registry ... i recommend a 15 day trial "tune up utilities 2006" to do the internet optimisation in that.

If you are, you've been duped.  DSL should be much faster than dial up...and if it isn't...find a new service provider.

all you can do is a get a faster connection, such as DSL or cablevision-based internet. \n\nBearshare is faster than limewire. But get the one with no adware at www.bearshare/lite ... it's free

More than likely your computer has been bombarded by spyware and other viruses since getting DSL.  DSL provides an ongoing, uninterrupted connection to the Internet, where as dial-up provided a connection only as long as you were connected (duration of the telephone call).  Having your PC connected non-stop to the Internet (especially if you don't turn your PC off ever) sets your computer up for constant attacks via your DSL connection.\n\nUnfortunately in this day and age, one has to have multiple software packages installed on their machine to combat these threats.  Here are some free ones that are pretty powerful as well as popular:\n\nAVG (free virus protection)\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/1\n\nSpybot Search & Destroy (free spyware remover)\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html\n\nAd Aware (free spyware remover)\nhttp://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/\n\nRunning all three of the programs on your computer will make a world of difference in terms of speeding your overall computer perfomance back up.

Your computer is out of date, and if you are using dial up it will do that. Upgrade your computer and get DSL or CABLE high speed internet.  Or you can reload windows on your old system and start fresh, im sure yoru current PC has alot of junk on it.

Freeware only solutions?  Well, I have a couple, but if the settings or problems aren't there that normally cause the reason for slow-down in internet speeds, they won't do much in the end.\n\nFirst off, check for spyware and other software that uses up bandwidth.  Spybot S&D is my recommended choice for this.\n\nIf you want to mess with the various TCP/IP optimizations and possible DNS archiving, try looking through various Freeware downloads from PCWorld.com in their Downloads section.  Webcelerator is an example of such freeware software(released 2002).  If you are using older OSes like Win95 to WinME, it may add minor performance but nothing for certain.  I would not advise using such software on more recent OSes like XP, but thats out of inexperience with any changes they may have incorporated since I haven't bothered with those settings on XP myself yet.

You may be able to get a little bit more speed by adjusting the Maximum Transmitable Unit (MTU) size for the TCP/IP stack used by your operating system.  This is usually set for LAN (Local Area Network) connectivity, but can be adjusted to get better performance over internet connections.  You can search for "MTU Adjustment" as well as the name of your operating system in order to find sites that may have utilities for you to do this easily.\n\nDo note: your download speeds are also limited by the available bandwith which might be regulated by the remote site.  Some servers specifically limit the amount of bandwidth that they use to serve files and information, so that they can transmit to several different clients at once.  Just because you may be receiving a file at 20k/s from one site doesn't mean that you could not also be receiving another file at a different site simultaneously with the same or higher speed.\n\nAlso, DSL can be limited by your provider.  Some of them charge a premium for higher bandwidth speeds.  You need to see what your provider gives you as a maximum.

Check and see if you have an 'Internet Accelerator'.  Programs that promise to speed up your connection will do so, at the cost to your graphics.

When I first got my DSL turned on, I was having problems with speed. I knew my system was capable of running it and all the lights were on on my modem. I called my ISP's tech support and they told me it was because I was using a cordless phone. I had never heard of this causing a problem before, but when I plugged in a different phone it worked a lot better. Also it could be an issue with your pc such as RAM and processor speed. No matter how fast your internet is, it can only go as fast as your pc is capable of. One more thing to try is running a anti spyware program, disk cleanup, disk defrag, registry cleaner, that sort of thing. It's unbelievable how much difference it makes just clearing out the clutter on your computer. Hope this helps.

its not about ur DSL. even the yahoo websites has their own server machines ... so if there is alot of load on the yahoo or many users are accessing yahoo then it will respond slow.
