http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r26332020-Poor-performance-recently Here is the first post on that thread: "When I visit websites sometimes I have to hit refresh in order to navigate to that website. It does this in Chrome, FF, Opera, and IE9. It just hangs. I have performed virus scan and malware/spyware scans comes back clean. This is my hard line computer to the modem (MI424WR-GEN2 f/w: 20.19.8)." I've been having similar problems this past week on Verizon DSL. I've had DSL service for four years and this past week I've experienced the worst performance ever. The symptoms are the same as reported in the above post to dslreports. _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Oct 5 - Distributed Authentication Systems Nov 2 - Nov 2011 Dec 7 - Chef
