Have tested my DSL speed. It is fine. I can download files like
lightning, but I cannot browse. Have tried IE6,7, Firefox, Avant,
Opera, nothing makes any difference. Will try to load a web page
and my browser will sit idle for 15-60 seconds, then begin to load
the page. Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling browsers, have
emptied temp files, deleted cookies, checked for viruses, spyware,
etc. Have found nothing to tell me why I can't browse. Any ideas
of things left to check?


How about something to uncheck?
Try this...

Control Panel -> Internet Options -> "Connections" Tab -> Lan Settings

You probably have "Automatically detect Settings" checked... it takes a
while to detect the settings. I recommend Unchecking this box. For
most connections, nothing needs to be checked on this page.

HTH,
John

Anymore suggestions to offer?

Sounds like a DNS problem, from here. Do you have any other computers using
this Internet service, or just this one?

Try referencing a new website (one that you haven't browsed for a while) by IP
address, instead of name, and see how quickly it comes up. Use the tools cited
in my article to find out the IP address.
