Greetings everyone,

Something funny is going on with my networking.  It's taking a very
long time to resolve host IPs across all browsers. It's been
happening for a week or two but I'm just now getting annoyed enough
to troubleshoot.

Me too. I just noticed it about a month ago when I installed my own
Unbound resolver instead of just sending all queries to 8.8.8.8.

Somebody later in this thread mentions that you shouldn't judge
resolution time by what the browser says. A few tests with dig and
nslookup tell me that with most domains I've never hit before (or which
have expired since I hit them), resolution usually takes less than a
second.

In my case, I'm temporarily assuming that before installing my own
resolver I never noticed how much of slow browser loading was due to
browser's inefficient dns operations.

I have some food for thought to share but first an update. A technician came out today to check the line and setup. Line was clear and strong. Switched the modem and now getting 256 down. But . . . internet is still very slow to connect as verified by several of you. Once it gets to where it's going, it is really fast. So here's my conclusion . . .

I think we are finally seeing the effects of the demise of Net Neutrality. Corporations are raking in a lot of money streaming videos to every imaginable device and the tech sites that I/we frequent are a low priority. So we are being bumped to the slow lane. Aaron Swartz and others saw this coming and it has finally arrived. Will be interesting to see just how bad it's going to get . . .
