net slowdown

[Tyke]

Is anyone experiancing slow internet browsing?

Some times it fine and other times pages take an age to come up.

Im on dial up and was wondering if anyone else as got any problems.

do you use adaware and spybot? worth checking them out if you dont

I must echo what Jeepster said:

 

Adaware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/

 

and Spybot Search and Destroy: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html

 

Having said that, all connections experience overload at peak times, so it depends on what time you're getting the slowdowns, and who your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is.

 

It also depends on whether you have any other programs set to run when you start-up, ie., P2P.

 

And do you run an anti-virus program?

 

Cheers

 

Ian.
