| 1182919 | 2011-03-02 08:01:00 | My broadband connection appears to be slowing down. Frequently when I attempt to access a site it seems to load about ¾ of the way and then slows to almost nothing. Are there a few adjustments that I can make to speed it up? I am running XP and use Firefox. Thanks for your help. |

| 1182920 | 2011-03-02 08:04:00 | Who are you with?? If youre with Xnet, change ISP. You sure its the BB and not whats installed thats slowing things down? Did you tell your ISP? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1182921 | 2011-03-02 08:17:00 | I am with Telecom. It's not every site. It appears to be sites that I rarely visit or perhaps visit for the first time. Sites such as F1 load quite quickly. What sort of installed programmes would be slowing it down? |

| 1182924 | 2011-03-02 20:01:00 | Try running some speedtests (speedtest.net or many others). While they're certainly not an exact measure of your connection speed, they can be helpful to give some indication if there is a major problem. | inphinity (7274) | ||

| 1182926 | 2011-03-02 22:38:00 | regarding your question about speeding up FF, you can do this by turning on pipelining Not saying that's anything to do with your particular slow page loads - but overall, it does make pages load much faster here's a post I made showing how to check it and turn it on with a couple other tweaks as well. pressf1.pcworld.co.nz |
