Web pages load slow

[Guest]

Recently I did a clean install of XP Home Edition w/SP2, oem version. Since
installation, I have had trouble getting on line and when I do, the pages
load slowly.
I have DSL and route through a D-Link wireless router using a CAT5 cable. I
have 3 other computers that use the same setup and have no problems.
Prior to the clean install, I was running XP Home Edition w/SP1. After I
upgraded to SP2 nothing worked properly and I had to continually authenicate
my copy of XP. After 3 times, I purchased a new copy, installed a new HD and
did the clean install.
I am running an AMD XP2700+ processor, 1GB Kingston Hyper-X memory, 120 GB
Western Digital HD, Nvidia 5700 LE OC graphics card, Creative Audigy Gamer
sound card, Albatron KX600S Pro motherboard.
I use Foxfire, Netscape 7.2, and IE, all with the same result - slow loading
pages.
Any help would be appreciated

Why don't you check your ISP connection speed?

Thanks for your reply. Tried both sites with various results at each. My
connection speed, download, varied from 1.8 kb/s to 123.4 kb/s with upload
speeds just as wild. I did 5 tests, 3 at dslreports and 2 at pcpitstop.
PCPitstop stated that I had "IE Cache Overflow" and my receive buffer size
was possibly too small. I followed their directions for correcting both
problems, one at a time. Changing the registry to increase the buffer size
made the problem worse, so I went back to the default settings.
Of the four (4) computers connected to this router, this is the only one
with a problem. I've even changed the plug-ins around and the result is the
same.
Any more possible solutions?
