You probably have some spyware on your system causing the problems. I suggest you run your anti-virus software, then download ewido anti spyware and run it. That usually speeds it up quite a bit.

You need to eliminate background processes. Try cancelling the running programs in your system tray at the bottom right. You can also download SpyBot so you can get rid of Spyware on your computer that could also be sucking up resources. Try upgrading your memory as well.

Clean the system.
Defragment, remove files that are not in use........check security...spyware.... clean up cache.
May need to add memory.
Is it telephone cable or wireless connection? Check with the provider.

its not about how fast your Internet connection is but the matter is what is your computer configuration check your computer configuration and i think if you increase your computer configuration your computer will be fast enough
