Internet Speed
I have my computer hooked up to my schools network system, and I thought that maybe the system here was extremely slow. But when I talked to my roommates, they explained to me that their computers were running pretty good and up to speed. But when I took my computer home over xmas break, I realized that my computer was extremely slow at home also.
Does anyone know why my internet is soo slow and how I can improve it?

Hello there,
I have just bought a dimension 5000 and can't believe how slow it runs in comparison to my old computer ( which is over 3 years old!) In fact I have spoken to tech support who are sending someone round tomorrow to look at it and sort a few other problems out. My system runs so slow I can't use it as it takes literally minutes to access a web page. Hope you get some useful advice.
