The webpages seem to take forever to load nowadays. Is it because of the server? I have Cable and T3 line in school and it still takes a while to load them.

Never had a problem until recently. So whats the verdict here? Anyone?

 

Still loads quickly for me.

 

Sometimes I notice the same thing but just refresh and it goes back to normal

 

I have at&t athome cable. Recently, pages often time out.

 

I have noticed that the loading has slowed in the very recent past. I have a DSL at my home/office and it generally zips along nicely. And occasionally, after I post a message it times out and I have to go back and submit it again.

 

I almost started this thread today!

I noticed very slow response time loading pages and even got a few "Could not find server" responses starting yesterday. I initially attributed this to our generally crappy network and DNS at work, but when I got home yesterday I experienced the same thing on my cable modem.

Then I remembered that I had upgraded Internet Explorer on all of my machines, both at work at at home to 5.5 SP1. The systems at work were upgraded on Wednesday afternoon before I left for the holiday and the ones at home were upgraded on Friday morning. I was getting ready to be really bummed that the browser might be the problem.

I'm also getting the same problem as Greg where the system times out when submitting a reply and I have to hit the Back button and re-post it.

I left a message for cthree yesterday about this. He just got back from vacation late last night so I suspect that he will be looking into the problem shortly.

I'm on DSL, which is generally great, but sometimes, opening (any) web pages becomes painful; the system just gets slower and slower until the only thing I can do is reboot the PC...then it's O.K. again. My PC is a Gateway - which might have something to do with it. I don't think it's the internet or service provider that causes slow page loading.
