Slow internet browsing?

English Network/Internet

Hey everyone. I’m running 11.2 on a Dell Latitude D630. Everything has been great other than issues with Suspend and hibernate not working correctly. However after about a month of use browsing the web has really slowed down bad. It doesn’t seem to matter if it’s in Firefox or Chrome either. I am using a wireless connection that is getting the signal at 85-95%. Even though I still tried using a direct cat-5 connection to the router and it was still slow as well. I have the fastest broadband connection my cable offers and my windows boxes on the same network are still flying.

Any ideas? Any directories that may need to be cleaned up etc.? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

That it was working and now it’s not, is kind of strange.
You seems to have established that your service is OK, as Windows is still working just fine.

I’m thinking IPv6 but why would it suddenly be an issue? It wasn’t earlier

What is the speed you get downloading a huge file with ‘wget’ through a nearby mirror? When this is slow too, then you have a problem with drivers and/or the connection. Otherwise it is a problem with the browsers. Does it help when you empty the cache? Try to disable the browser preload function and see if this makes a difference.
