Most likely, you're on the very edge of the DSL service area, too far from the phone company's local DSL base station to get good speeds.  I'm guessing that you've called the DSL company about the problem aready.  If DSL coverage isn't good in your neighborhood, try your Cable TV company, they probably sell high speed, and it'll have less distance limits.

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.

Connection is based on you ISP provider.  Do you have a Wireless access?  You might be getting interfered with.  If its a dialup  then those systems are inherantly slow.  Might I suggest you do a ping test to actually see if you are having problems connecting to the net.  Go under your start menu right click on that.  Go to the run.  Doubleclick that.  When The run box comes up type in cmd <enter> When the next box comes up type in IPCONFIG <enter> This will give you your IP address for your Computer. Then type in ping www.yahoo.com -t\nthis will tell you if you have a good connection by the packets you recieve and the time to receive them.  If you want to get out of this just type  <ctrl> c  That will get you back to beginning.

Internet connection logically sounds like the problem.  Try a different ISP, or change the setting to your ISP.  Possible problem with Internet Browswer, try a different one like FireFox.\n\nA few ideas with limited knowledge of problem.

Well, this problem happened with a friend of mines before where the DSL was slow due to pile of useless appliations that occupy and use a portion of your DSL Speed...\n\nTry removing useless applications and install a good Antivirus/Antispyware to assure that there is Keyloggers, etc that send private data over the internet..\n\nI personally recommend installing AVAST Antivirus HOME Edition (FREE for Personal Use) which comes eith a lot of handy tools...award winning Antivirus for 2005\n\nCheck out all of its features on the link below:\nhttp://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html\n\nPS: Its less than 10 MB in size and does a frequent update...\n\nHope this solves your problem...

You might want to run a Virus, Spyware, or Adware check on your computer. I had this same problem a few months ago, and I found out that spyware was slowing down my computer and internet connection. As soon as I ran the spyware check, and deleted any spyware on my computer, it was as fast as when I first purchased it.

The main reason your Internet and slow. Because; the DSL modem can only transfer information but to 51.8 Mbps. Even though it can transfer information at 51.8 Mbps that is not always the case. such as the distance that the information needs to travel and the modem speed; the speed of computer \n\nTwo or Three reasons this could be happening. first go to  \n\nhttp://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/\n\ntoo see how fast your connection speed is\n\nI found out that native drivers sometimes slow you down (cable and DSL users). So if you have applied all tweaks and you are still having slow downs try reinstalling your NICs drivers.\n\nI have reinstalled my NIC drivers (I own a CNET generic NIC, native driver is installed with OS) with the latest found on their website, and now I can really apretiate all my available bandwith. The difference is noticeable. My web pages now load almost instantly where they used to take even a minute!

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.

you can do ping tests and give them the results...\nstart, run, type "command" on black screen type "ping www.whatever.whatever" <-- not a real url and don't use the " " marks\ndifferent pages will give you different results, in theory the further away it is the longer it will take to ping back.\n\nbut just a note, don't be too hard on the tech support people, they can't really do much to help you with this, and get yelled at all day by people upset that they aren't actually pulling pages as fast as their connection or modem claims to be.  its very frustrating for us...ah, them, sorry about that, not one anymore, but it dies hard.

are you using dial-up? if you are i wouldn't know anything about it. but if you are using dsl i find it helpful to turn of the modem, wait a while, turn it on, and reconnect to the internet. i've noticed that some downloads go a lot faster than others. try the modem trick and if that doesn't work contact your interent service provider. i had slow dsl and i called my isp and there was a problem (they had to have a repairman fix it). i hope that helps. :-)

Make sure you have filters on all your phone lines, including any TV boxes that use the phone. This can cause slowness. You can check with the manual and see if you can access the DSL router to see what DL and UP speeds you are at. If you are below what is promised then check with the company. If you are above where you are supposed to be then either live with what you have or call the company, pay more to upgrade. This is all dependant on how your DSL is setup and it may not be the same way I am familiar with. They also have Internet Speed Check's that you can use to check your speed. That will give you an idea if you are at a good speed for DSL. \n\nhttp://reviews.cnet.com/7004-7254_7-0.html

You did not mention which area you have come from. What type of connection you are using. What computer do you own? and what environment you use internet in like some internet cafe or some office LAN etc.  I start with assuming that you have a standalone desktop computer and you connect to the internet through a Dial-up connection. First of all check you phone line, it must be a noise free line, you can check it by picking up the handset and dial a single digit from your keypad, listen carefully, there should be silence, no humb, no noise. If this is OK, check your modem is properly installed and is of a good make, some modems dont match to your ISP's hardware which result in slow speed and frequent disconnection. USR or Lucent Modems are the best.  On no. 3 comes the selection of service provider, select a good and esteemed ISP rather selecting a low-rate ISP.  If you have the facility of DSL in your area, just subscribe for it, it will increase your net speed manifold.

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.
