I'm glad you brought this to our attention, but yes, mine has been extremely slow too! I thought it was just me and/or my equipment considering that the DSL modem/linksys router are 4 years old. It seems as though it is the DNS lookups that are slowing down the process. Once a host resolves, the connection is normal speed. Call up Verizon at 1800-870-9999.
