Do you have similar problems connecting with other protocols (e.g. FTP, POP3, SMTP)? To me, the issues you describe seem similar to those caused by high rates of packet loss over your connection; however, the fact that IE works doesn't fit in with that hypothesis.
Oh, yeah, my incoming/outgoing mail servers through my ISP are pretty pissy. I have a hard time finding an FTP client that works and it sometimes gets toasted, too. I use AOL as well and it frequently has trouble getting a complete connection, causing it to not always be able to view websites, but can do IM and email fine, usually. Instant messaging programs are usually fine.
I did what you said and seemed to be getting the source code for the main page, so I assume that's working fine, right now.
I also have a lot of DNS issues even in IE, for a while half the sites I want to visit it'll say it can't find the server, and I just have to wait nutil it goes away...
