I'm surprised you haven't tried restarting the modem. Also you could try giving your ISP an actual call.

You should set hidden folders as visible. Check this for tutorial how to do it.

OK, I got it, thank ye:  

Go to windows/system32/drivers/etc and open file "hosts" with a notepad. If should look like this:

Code: [Select]

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1       localhost
# ::1             localhost
If it's different from this, then you should delete this file and restart your computer. This file will be automatically created again.

Other then the year being off I don't see anything wrong.

Tutorial? 

You need a tutorial to grab a phone and call your internet provider?

You need a tutorial to grab a phone and call your internet provider?

1. Look up what kind of internet provider you have.
2. Google for the phone number to that company.
3. Call them and tell them the things you told us.
4. They will try to help you.

And if this dosen't work, Google it.

I mean the first half of the sentence.

Modems usually have a powerswitch. Just press the button, wait 1-2 minutes, press it again and see if it got better.

Check this setting page (most users don't know about it):
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html
You can set some "things" and this one under first is for clearing "flash cookies", try to remove it, maybe it will help



PS: Most users which are browsing "porn sites" can see their "bad sites" there too, because even when you delete "normal cookies" there are still other "flash cookies" [^.^]

The east coast has been ravaged by tornadoes as of late. Just wondering what is your ISP... been having similar problems.
Also do a ping test on google. If you're ping is fine and webpages load slow it is most likley not your err.

Are you using Firefox? As much as I love it, I've had problems with Flash inside of Firefox. So much so, that I've started to use Chrome for some things, with mostly positive results. Have you tried a different browser?

I have IE, Chrome, and Firefox.  They all produce the same result.

Ok, it seems that hosts are fine... then you can try to ping those web-sites, which are loading not as fast as others.

Tip: How to ping a web-site - start-> Run. In the opened window write: ping [address here]

Run command is invisible by default (at least for Win7/Vista). To make it visible make following steps:
1. Right click on "Start" button
2. Settings
3. Set Up
4. Scroll down till you find a tick with "Run" command. Check it.
5. Ok
6. Apply

Then check some other site, which is working fine. If the results is much different, then you just have to call to your ISP and say that something is wrong with the trace route to the web-site [name of site, which is working improperly]. If there's no big difference, then it is probably because of the servers of that site and you can do nothing with it.

You can also try to tracert route to that slow web-site. tracert [address here]. But it's all are rather for fun, and it wouldn't help you to speed it up.
