Hi,

A couple of questions pls:

1. how are you connected, DSL or dial-up?
2. if it is DSL, wireless, cable, two-wire/telephone?
3. what is the brand of your modem?
4. do you use a router?
5. what is your machine, a laptop or desktop?
6. what is your operating system?
7. who installed the system?
8. who is your ISP and what is your subscription/package (speed of connection)?
9. have you tried calling your ISP?

Hope you post back additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

Hi. Windows updates the drivers automatically once a new digitally signed driver is detected specially Windows 10. By lag do you mean applications open slower than usual or do you mean browsing with a web browser has become slower? If the latter, try clearing your browser's cache.
- On Mozilla Firefox: Press CTRL+SHIFT+DEL simultaneously and click Clear Now
- On Internet Explorer browser: Press CTRL+SHIFT+DEL simultaneously and click Delete
- On Google Chrome: Press CTRL+SHIFT+DEL simultaneously and click Clear Browsing Data
- On Microsoft Edge: Press CTRL+SHIFT+DEL simultaneously and click Clear

When did it start running slow? If it just started, try rebooting or clearing your cache. Do have the latest version of OS X?
Is it your computer or your internet connection?
As for upgrading your hardware, It depends on what model you have. You can max out your RAM which will speed things up and you can add a solid state hard drive which will also boost the speed.

The software required is Java and Adobe acrobat reader.
You need an up to date browser and keep it clean using Ccleaner.
You do not say if your internet and computer speed is good.
Make sure you have the latest version of Yahoo mail
Try switching to Basic Mail in settings

It may not have much RAM. If it's web that seems slow, your connection might be slow from something other than your laptop. Your laptop will run fastest without downloading anything to "help" it run faster. All of that stuff is garbage.

Hi Daisy - My name is Ashley, and I'm with Suddenlink. I'd be happy to look into this for you - could you please email me your account address and a contact phone number? My email is ashley-AT-suddenlink-DOT-com. Thank you.

Is your internet connection very slow, or are only www.yahoo.com, and www.mail.com very slow, with the rest of the internet pages loading at normal speed.

If internet is very slow the fault can be either with your machine or the internet service is slow. Most internet services become slow at times. Maybe in the after noons or public holidays service might not be good. If your machine has slowed down after some time there are many things to do to speed it up. You can use free programs like cccleaner, from the internet to clean the computers registry and remove junk files. Defragging your cmputer can also help speed it up

If the fault is not with your internet connection, or computer but only these email accounts consider the following possiblities.

are you unable to log in because you have forgotten the logon password?
Or are you able tolog in without difficulty, whereas emails and folders take a long time to open.?

www.mail.com gets a slowness problem which gets better when you enable java and javascript on your browser. To enable javascript in internet explorer go to
tools>internet options> and click on SECURITY tab and choose CUSTOM LEVEL
scroll to the bottom, make sure ENABLE is selected for ALLOW ACTIVE SCRIPTING

Install java from www.java,com for mail.com to open faster

also in www.mail.com choose the USA option or Intermational option depending on whether you are inside or outside the USA


In the case of www.yahoo.com well in my case someone hacked it and it was slow because someone was messing around with it, but after "they" left things are more back to normal.

Hello Sir,

downloading speed depends on internet connection not on PC specification.

If your transfer is low then downloading will also be low.

Take note that source from which you are downloading also must have reliable connection.


cheers,
Mike

I am not sure if I understand your problem correctly or not. How I am understanding this is that your dialup will not refresh or work on comcast's homepage. Thus not allowing you to logon to your email account. But your dialup will work on other parts of the net.

If this is the problem:
First, clear your internet cache. If that doesn't work, then try using a different browser. If you are using Internet Explorer, try using Firefox...it is free.

If your comcast account is not assessable from any computer, you need to call comcast tech support and see if there is a problem with your account.
