There are several reasons you may experience problems browsing to your favorite Web sites even though you are connected to the Internet. Although having an upgrade on your service is good, you also need to check your computer if it's in top shape. The following steps with related articles can help you diagnose and resolve browsing issues.\n\n1.       Click-To-Fix: Automatically detect and fix the problem (Windows XP/2000/ME/98).\n\n\n2.       Ensure that you are running only one firewall. See Conflicting Firewalls May Result in Slow Connection/Slow Browse for more details.\n\n3.   Check that line filters have been properly installed for all phone lines in use. \n\n\n4.       Browse to different Web sites to verify if the problem is isolated to the site you are visiting.\n\n\n5.       Clear browser cache. Clearing the Internet browser cache may help to reduce delays in accessing web pages by freeing space on the hard drive to allow for temporary storage of more web content. \n\n\n6.       Clear cookies. Clearing cookies frees space on the hard drive and may quicken web browsing by allowing new content to temporarily be stored on the hard drive. \n\n7        Review system resources by following the steps below; Right click on My Computer, Left click on Properties, Identify processor (CPU) speed and memory (RAM) \n        **If RAM and CPU speed are at minimum system requirements (266 MHz or 64MB RAM-) upgrading your system may improve your speed \n\n8.       Ensure that you you install an Anti-Spy program. I suggest that you run it frequently \n         Why get anti-spy program? \n        **May cause your computer to act slower than usual \n        ***Can make the Internet connection appear slower \n          because SpyWare can use a large amount \n          of computer system resources. \n        ****Can make advertisement pop-ups appear even when \n          you are not browsing the web \n        *****Can cause your homepage to change SpyWare  \n          software can appear in your startup menu or  \n          system tray\n\nThere would be ISPs that could provide you a download speed of 1.5-3.0 Mbps( i heard 6 Mbps is already available in some areas) and 384 Kbps or even higher. However also try to ask if how far you are from the Central Office of you ISP because if you are very far from it, then there is always the possibility of not getting the maximum speed that you should be getting.\n\nBut then again, it's also equally important to take note that your devices can handle the speed if not, then it'll be a waste to pay more and gets just the same speed due to the state of your equipments. \n\nI hope this helps! =D

Your internet connection may be too slow. This can cause the browser or the website you are trying to view "time out". You can try using a ping program that keeps the internet connection alive.\n\nAlternatively, the site you are trying to view may be down, try again later.

Download time depends on the size of the file, and the speed of the transmission.    For example, if you go after big files using a dial-up connection it can take "forever".\n\nOther possibilities:\n\nThe website you are downloading from might be very busy at times.   A website server is just another computer.   If lots of people try to download from it at the same time, the server can get overloaded and slow down.\n\nYour computer might get congested if your hard drive is getting full or needs to be defragged.   Or if you are trying to do multiple things at once. Or if you don't have enough RAM memory.\n\nIf you are on a dial-up connection, the phone network might have poor connections and noise on the line.   This causes the server to send the same data over and over until a clean transmission happens.\n\nWhat can you do?\n\n. Make sure your own computer is ok\n. Call your ISP and discuss problem\n. Do your downloads at non-peak hours\n. Upgrade the speed of your internet connection.\n. Email the customer service of the website you are downloading\n\nSometimes wide area network problems are hard to find.  Sorry there is no easy sure-fire solution.

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.

It's not so much a problem with your computer or connection.\nMySpace, just like any other web site or service can only take so much load, and they are exceeding that load faster than they can build themselves up to manage it.\n\nThe only way you are going to really be able to do anything about it, is to sit there, wait a few minutes, and try again.

Opera and Netscape also can do the simultaneously loading. Speed is much faster than IE\n\nd10v01b

To have your site hosted by "Elite" Service Plan doesn't mean your web site hosted by Elite server and you valuable web site will be treated such way. The problem of slow load has many factors:\n\n- the server itself slow\n- the site is hosted by outdated share hosting\n- the size of the file (index file) >20kb\n- low network connectivity\n\nTry to load the hoster web site itself. It should load fast enough. If it loads slowly, most probably it was you network connection.\n\nHope this helps.

There is definately something wrong with your computer if it is taking 12-15 minutes for a page to load.  Not knowing your setup (or even whether you are on a mac or PC -- though I'd guess PC)  I'd suggest you do the following.\n\n1.  Download a free a program scanner (like Adaware SE - http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/)\n\n2.  Run the program to find any hidden bugs -- it's fairly self explanatory once you've installed the program.\n\n3.  Download and run a Spyware detection program (like Spybot Search and Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/)\n\nIf that doesn't clean up your problem, you're going to want to scan for viruses -- you can scan online for free at http://housecall65.trendmicro.com/ - or go to your local computer store and buy Norton Antivirus (McAfee is also a big name in antivirus software).  \n\n\nIf the three steps above don't help you, you're going to want to talk to a professional about things.  If you bought your computer at a Best Buy they generally have service there.  Otherwise call the place you bought it from and see what they recommend.\n\nGood luck.

Because there was some problem with loading the web site. You may not be connected to the Internet. The web site may be down. There could be a routing problem somewhere along the way, either on your computer, at your ISP, or at the CO for the provider your ISP uses.

what operating system are they both running? has it worked before? Were there any recent system changes? I'm thinking it might be a difference in the configuration and all...but I'm not really sure. I need more information to determine the problem.\n\nactually...if it's only certain webpages and all and you've already been there before...it might very well be that those pages are cached (temporarily stored on your hard drive), in that instance...instead of going online to the page, it simply loads from your hard drive instead.\n\ndo a virus scan. also check your firewall settings on that computer. hope that helps

its either that you have a slow internet connection, a slow bandwidth speed, or its just simply all in ur luck...wait, that doesn't make sense...

It's probably because your browser has cached the page in temporary memory, so it is being retrieved from your hard drive / memory, rather than from the server.

That should be fast enough. Maybe you have spyware or a virus.

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/

it could just be your computer becase my friend has that same problem where it says people are online when there not. Also you have to remember that myspace has over a billion people on it so it takes longer now then it ever did in the past.

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