Computer question

jean2579 · ‎25-02-2015

My laptop has become very slow to load sites.

Is there any way that I can speed it up? This has only happened recently.

I have a current AVG Security to stop bugs, so am not sure what is wrong.

What browser are you using ?
Have you cleared your cache ?

Is your internet limited after a certain amount if you go over that limit, the ISP slows down your internet.

Just some thoughts to ponder.

It could be a number of reasons Jean including the ones Vic mentioned.

It might even be your phone line. I had terrible problems with internet being very unstable and slow and it turned out to be the line. It took weeks but eventually Telstra fixed the line problem once I couldnt even use the phone anymore.

If you're with Optus it could a network issue which is expected to be fixed within a week.

What type of broadband connection do you use?

Jean, TTTT more information needed. Such as which operating system is in use, browser, what toolbars are active, error messages if any, type of internet connection, are there any popups, how slow is slow etc,etc

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

If you have a modem, router, turn it off and wait a few minutes and then turn it on again.

I wont hijack Jean's thread. My son says mines just too old, that's why its slowing down. They're made to do that.

Ten*tiny*toes, please comment, I always enjoy your posts.
I am using Explorer and we are on the NBN and use a Telstra T Hub system which could perhaps be the problem as they told me yesterday that our T Hub which is version 1 is not NBN compatible and they are sending out a replacement later version.
I am not sure how to clear cookies.
