Very Slow To Load On Both Computers
This page cannot be displayed, or...Internet Explorer cannot display this page, and similar messages. I have an older XPS 420 with Vista that still fires up and works well. The default browser is IE9, but for sites that require something more I use Pale Moon browser Once a connection is made, I can listen ts streaming radio or watch and listen to YouTube music on it
My newer computer has Windows 7 and IE11 and has the same problems...takes forever to load or requires multiple attempts to do. Some pages come right up, but if I press links on those pages it takes longer, quite often, or the page won't come up at all. Both systems worked find until a week or too ago. They both share an Actiontec PK5000 router, which shows that both Qwest Broadband and the ISP are connected at a speed of 2272/896 Kbps.
This is all fed from the landline connection that doubles for my in home phone and router connection. I don't know what ot check next. It would appear that the problem is upstream from my location. My lines connect with the big metal box that sits on a concrete pad out on the street, and thence to heavens knows where. This box serves an apartment complex that uses the old fashioned copper wire lines. I don't do the wireless option on the router.
Not getting any responses on Hardware Forum. Any ideas what might be causiing this?.
