Oddly Slow Internet Speeds

[JMarimon]

Hey tech peeps, need a bit of help.

 

As of somewhat recently, my internet has taken a huge plunge in speed. Pages used to load spiffy and quick, like they should. Revo-Europe took about 3 seconds, Google about 0.02, DevintArt about 5. I've got a 5 Megabit broadband connection.

 

Though, lately, it is ungoddly slow. Takes on average about a minute per-page to load stuff.Even google takes about 10 seconds. My record as of now is Cnet taking 564 seconds to load. (Using the fasterfox timer)

 

So, for all you techies, what is the problem? And no, it is not our cable or anything, all the other 5 computers on my network are working perfectly fine. Yes, spyware and virus scans have been done. (And yes Jordan, I fixed my CPU speed thing, no better) No, it is not just Firefox, IE, and Opera are just the same.

 

I made a Google Search, and found this:

Try that on yours, it took me 24.563 seconds to load that. Anyhow, that describes my exact symptoms. Still getting quick 600 KB/s downloads and regular uploads, but pages are taking forever. Though, that specific fix did not pertain to me, as I have Internet Protocal (TCP/IP).

 

So if you guys could try and help me figure this out, it would be most appreciated. Thanks guys. :wink:
