Question why is my internet so slow on certain sites? facebook etc....

or is it just something to do with my internet, ive deleted all my internet cookies, files and history and facebook just goes so slow now to load your home page, profile page and other peopes profiles! it just goes into a non respoinsive program and loads up about 2-3 minutes later! any ideas guys?

i have tried a new java update now 27-4 and still no luck

My facebook is slow, it's just cos it's full of shit now, it used to be better when there was none of those gay applications!!

Just check it on my phone now - it's much quicker

probably some java application or something running in IE and taking all the resources. Stop accepting all those homosexual applications!

today i uploaded new java, still no luck, takes forever to load some pages i.e facebook when you click on your homepage!

see in the top left it stops responding for around 2 minutes then loads up!

some sites are fast like passionford, some are really slow to load!
