Answer 1

There may be nothing wrong with the connection. When was the last time you performed some maintenance on your computer? You should do a disk cleanup and defragment at least weekly if you do much web surfing. Additionally, you might want to check out a program like Spybot Search and Destroy which will remove various small programs that tend to gum up the works so to speak. Web surfing tends to pick up a lot of junk which isn't necessarily bad, it just slows down performance.

Answer 2

Is it a wireless or ethernet connection you use there?
And is their ISP providing DSL or Cable internet or what?

I know alot about this kind of things but would really help if I knew a bit more info.

Answer 3

router or modem may need to be reset, if not that, there may be someone putting much strain on the line like downloading.
