At first I thought it might be the site itself, but now I'm beginning to think not, because as an example, speedtest.net is taking around 50 secs to load with IE / Opera.
My speed and ping are normal at around 8-9 Megs / 30-40ms.
It's exactly the same with different PC's, and I haven't changed anything.
It looks as if a site loads at normal speed up to a certain point, and then gets stuck! - Maybe that will mean something to someone more versed in the technicalities than I am.
It's interesting, if rather irritating, that a friend 2-3 miles away, who has recently switched to PN on my recommendation, is having no problem at all, even with Explorer!

But not with Firefox?

AndyH, I'm using the TG 585.
Matt, I've just tried the Met Office using Opera and its okay up to element 18, then goes up to 67 much more slowly, after that it's snails pace.
PeeGee, I don't have Java or add-ons, and TBH there are so many Adobe updates I couldn't say for sure if it coincides with any, but never had any problems before.
Bright, I've just tried speedtest.net with Firefox and it took 45 secs to fully load.

So once the speedtest.net Flash programme has loaded (after 45-50 seconds), it then runs the speed test OK and produces a result of 8-9Mbps and a ping of 30-40ms? And exactly the same happens on 2 different (Windows?) PCs connected (by ethernet?) to the same router? (just want to be clear we're not missing anything).
Do you get (roughly) the same performance figures from the BTW speed tester?
Are the 2 PCs running the same anti-virus programme?. Does disabling the AV make any difference? (I think you might have gone round that loop in a previous thread...)
What happens if you go to a web page that is simple to load (eg Google home page)? Does it load quickly? How about a Google search results page? Is there some kind of pattern in which sorts of pages load OK and which get bogged down?

Quote the same on two PC's and tablet
Just to be clear - sites like speedtest.net run equally slow on all machines/devices?

That Met Office page is using HTML5 scalable vector graphics, so there's a lot of data to load and a lot of processing to actually draw the page. And once it's drawn, the results are pretty depressing for the first day of Spring!
@Scribe
Just wondering if one of your PCs is a laptop and you could take it to your friend's house and see if the problem is the same there or goes away (that would work with the tablet, I guess)?

Google search loads okay, as do many other pages - Plusnet, Tesco, Ebay are okay. It seems to be ones with a lot of data.
I definitely used to be able to load the Met Office site on my Android tablet as well - it wasn't fast, but it was okay, - so to my way of thinking, that rules out my PC's.
This might be significant however - at the time I didn't attach any importance to it, thinking it was just PN or BT maintenance. But on what I think might well have been the same day that this started, the router 'internet' light went out for 20-30 secs, then came back up again for the same time, then went out again - like a very slow blinking. This went on for, I would think about 10 mins. After that all the lights were on as usual. I've never seen anything like that before or since. My money's on the problem being something to do with that.

Not sure there's anything there that would indicate a fault though 😕

Curiously though, I don't usually look at newspapers online, but thought I would read about the budget ::), and the Telegraph, Guardian and Mail, all loaded without any problem even using Explorer, and they seem to be pretty big sites. I don't get it!
