Yes. The past few days (previous to yesterday) have been really bad. Slow loading or no loading.

When it happens, I switch to Google Chrome and use that browser. It's still slow, but not as bad as IE, and it rarely ever "no loads" the page.

Yesterday and today have been fine using IE though.

Try unplugging the power supply plug to your router for ~15 seconds,if your using a wireless laptop,unplug BOTH routers,that will usually fix slow site issues.

Wow, people actually read those things?
When IE starts getting stupid, I usually use Google Chrome, but I also have Mozilla Firefox downloaded and ready to be clicked if necessary.

I find Firefox to be better than Internet Explorer. More add-ons and it has an automatic spell check built in!
