I have a fairly new fast computer and recently connected to Road Runner.
I'm running XP Pro, sp1 and have Zone Alarm with updates and AVG virus with
lates updates, and have also run Ad-Aware, SpyBot.
When I need to download files, they are very quick. But when I'm just
surfing to common sites like -USA Today, Cbs News, browser gets very slow and
sometimes stops, I have to click the Stop button and refresh, and still takes
much longer than dial-up. Talked with Road Runner support and connection is
normal after bandwidth testing.
Some process must be running when I browse that's slowing down the page
display.
I tried by-passing the router and turning off the firewall and still the
same slow results.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
thanks,
Dave
