Hello all. Here's a challenge. I have a frustrating issue that perhaps this forum can help me with. Sorry for the length of my post but I want you to get enough detail to assist me.
Roughly 3 weeks ago, without any notice, my web experience came to a crawl. Before that my 1 year old Gateway 1975W quad had screamed across the internet through my ATT DSL. Let me describe the general problem:
1) Pages that are dominated by text load pretty well - but the green bar at the bottom usually drags behind the view. Then, in most instances, I get a "done but with errors on page notice in the bottom left corner.
2) Pages that have mixed text and images load pretty erratically and it seems to depend on the site itself as to the severity. Images, emocons, buttons, etc, are slow to load. In fact, they seem to load one at a time. Yahoo sports and You Tube are examples.
3) The most frustrating: when running a Google image search the page itself immediately loads but all I see is placecard holders. One by one the images come to life. Instead of the instantaneous page I am use to seeing - it can be a 10 second count.
4) Highly developed web pages, those with pretty graphics, lots of images and "stuff" load over brutal length of time while the info in the bottom left hand corner simply counts down all of the issues, "waiting on xyz", "waiting on advertisement abc", and sometimes it literally just counts down the remaining images.
Comments:
1) My 2wire hub never lost connectivity but does about every other day now.
2) I have Kapersky that swears I have no malware or viruses.
3) I have reset my browser (IE7), allowed controls to download images faster, and cleaned the C drive, etc. All the normal stuff has been completed.
4) I've gone in to dos prompt and turned off autotuning (from multiple site's recommendation).
5) I switched from TLS to SSL 2.0 (from one site's recommendation).
6) Defender firewall is off;Kapersky is on.
7) Phishing is off on both.
8) According to ATT my outbound and inbound speeds are humming.
The above did make a small uptick in speed but everything from GMail, Google image searches and complicated websites are still very slow. Can any of you help me? I just don't know where to go from here. All suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you.
