I should also add that not all sites respond slowly.

Streaming video seems to work fine from most sites and downloads are ok.

But the ISP’s slow response is what is really causing the problem. Even ‘tech support’ from Frontier is useless.

They have the same ‘canned’ solution of removing power from the modem, waiting 30 seconds and reconnecting.

Sometimes it helps. Most times is doesn’t.. And it’s a new modem.

Have you tried running CC cleaner or Advance System Care?

CC clearner is free, but Advance Sytem Care cost about $20 a year. Well worth it IMHO.

Question: does your broadband connection require the use of a Domain Name Server (DNS) to resolve web addresses? If it does, I recommend ditching the DNS server addresses provided by the ISP and switching to far faster DNS servers such as OpenDNS (DNS primary address 208.67.222.222, secondary address 208.67.222.220) or Google Public DNS (DNS primary address 8.8.8.8, secondary address 8.8.4.4). I use OpenDNS and the increase in web browsing speed has been dramatic.
