My IE 7 has slowed down

[usergame]

You are not alone Veronica. My browsers were so slow that I was getting server resets and time out notices if not, blank web pages or pages missing scripts. Since I removed my router, only one website is slow. I'm not sure what is going on. My ISP is comcast.

I only have the 1 browser that is slow. My ISP is earthlink.

Thanks for replying.

I'm not sure what you mean by slow. Slow starting, slow loading pages, slow connections. Since removing my router my speeds increased a lot:

May your homepage has more junk they added to it - such as flash and/or advertisements. Here is a typical Myspace page wanting to load four more URL's to the page. One or more server might be slow and show that the page is taking longer to fully load.



I just tried http://www.earthlink.net/ and it's pretty fast. How about http://google.com - is that slow as well?

Is that Tor park browser you are using? Aka Xb browser aka XeroBank browser?

What is that, that is blocking things?

When I get the Earthlink Login page it is fast. After I sign in to get into my email, it is slow. I see 1 blocked advertisement. This happens only with IE 7.

Thanks

It's Firefox with noscript extension.
