Until yesterday my internet worked fantastic. I could click on a favorite or my homepage and instantly be on the site. Now, all the sudden whenever I click on a page it takes 10-15 seconds (sometimes more) before the page 'hits'. It will then load as fast as before. The problem is this new 'waiting period' before the page loads. I have a high speed connection with 27795 kbs down and 958 kbs up. I thought maybe my browser had become corrupt somehow so I upgraded to IE8 but still have the same problem. My system is spyware and virus free (just checked twice). Any ideas on what to do to fix this?
IE opens so slow

Yep...I know what you mean. I've been having this issue on IE7, for several days. I've tried clearing, scanning, restarting, etc. Still, browser just drags along that alot of times I'll click to STOP/REFRESH, which seems to help. If I just try to wait, it usually gives the "Page not found". Doesn't make much sense. Anyone else having these problems? Does anyone have any other ideas/solutions?

Try disabling any addons that are not needed, also I have noticed microsofts phishing checks messing up today so maybe try turning the phishing filter off as well.

Thx for the idea. However, I have very few add-ons, but they're needed & I don't use Microsoft's Phishing Filter.

Clear temp files/cache/cookies. Reset IE back to defaults, make sure add-ons are off and then try again. If it's still an issue, TRY downloading firefox and see if you get the same problem. If you do, then it's likely not IE, if you don't then it is IE and there will be more troubleshooting necessary.

Hi KWard,
It may be a temporary issue with your ISP DNS addresses it uses. You might try using a Open DNS address as a test to see how it works afterwards. After clicking on the link, click on Yes to display nonsecure information. It is safe to do so.
