I'm here in the People's Republic of Bush on a DSL line. Since about 6/11, the 'net has been slow. I have waited a couple minutes for simple sites like Google and The Register to load, if at all. Opening mail on Yahoo is a thrill in off itself.
I'm using Norton 360 and connect through a CISCO 675 DSL router via a DLink 514 802.11g router (wired port).

Thoughts or suggestions or is it just here in the Ohio Province of the PRB?

It seems it's not my DLink 514 router causing the problems. I removed it from the loop and now connect directly from the DSL modem to my computer. Still have very slow connectings, frequent cannot display page message, and other fun things.
Live is so sweet here in the PRB.

Well, I tried something radical. I installed Opera and now my internet connections are zooming. Where before IE7 would sit and churn, and churn, and then say it couldn't load the page, Opera just pops them bad boys open. The only thing I can think of is the latest batch of bug patches, I mean, quality updates from Redmond really mucked up IE7.

By the way, I've used Opera, Firefox, and IE and I rank them in that order for ease of use, speed, readibility, and all around usefulness.
