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.

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.

Everyone is KINDA right, Yahoo isnt an ISP, but they have teamed up with SBC to create Yahoo high speed internet.  So technically SBC would be your DSL provider but you have all the features from yahoo intigrated into a custom browser.  Go to: http://promo.yahoo.com/att/ for details.

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/

No.  You're at the mercy of the bandwidths that are being used at the time.   Sometimes there is more traffic which will make it slower and other times you are using it at a time when not that many people are on so it will be faster.\n\nHope that helps.

Because either \nA. your internet connection is not powerful enough (dial up)\nB. yahoo always has something that messes up\nC. you don't have enough RAM to support the music and everything else that is running

It maybe because of the Dial-Up Connection. It might be going so slow that windows thinks that its jsut not going and it cancels the request and give you some stupid error. I had that problem when I used to be on that horribly super slow dial up conenciton.

Maybe it's the weather. I have DSL, and I'm having some problems getting into sites. It's almost like I have dial up again!! UUUGGGGGG! It could also be that since the weather is so bad, there are a lot more people online...Lots of traffic..

I am glad to know that I am not the only one who finds that everything related to Yahoo is running slow in the past week or so.   I have broadband and Windows XP Prof.  For sure I don't use Nortons or Mcafee as they are junk.    \n\nI use Avast an until this past week I have had quick response.  Now I notice that Yahoo has slowed down.   I even removed their security device, at the bottom of your tray when you are in IE, there is a white squire box with a round yellow ball an "!", Closed the phishing device as I don't shop or bank on line, so I don't need Yahoo to scan each webpage before it opens to see if the page is rogue.    Made some difference in speed, still slow in my opinion.\n\nMust be Yahoo Servers, as I can think of nothing else. \n\nClinical Psychiatrist, France\n\nExcuse my english

You have DSL, which goes through your phone line.   Presumably there is a filter on the line with the new phone?  If there is not, it should not slow down your data, but you would get interference on the phone.  Your network interface is cabable of 100 Mbps, but DSL doesn't go that fast. Is your antivirus up to date?  The usual reason network connections slow way down is because or viruses or spyware.  You mentioned you used ad-aware, which is an excellent product.  I also use and recommend spybot, which detects over 50,000 bad things in just a few minutes.  Try it, it's free, and sometimes finds things that AD-Aware cannot.

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.

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.

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!

I originally had cable, which was technically faster (3 meg down) but I switched to DSL.  It's half the speed (1.5 meg down) but i hardly notice the difference...and it's a lot cheaper, too (at least in my area).
