Q. Why do images look bad on my computer?   Top
A. If you are using America Online, you probably have AOL's "image compression" feature turned on; it is turned on by default. A low-cost ISP may be using similar software. This accelerates your browsing experience, particularly if you are stuck behind a 56K modem, by converting all or most images on the web into a proprietary format known as an "ART" image. The catch is that photos will sometimes look terrible with this compression.
To turn it off, first make sure you are signed on to AOL properly, not as a guest. Then, pick "members" from the toolbar, pick "my AOL," locate the "web" preferences, and turn off "use compressed graphics."

Q. Why do web pages load so slowly? ( All web pages? Or just some of them? )   Top
A. If the answer is "just some of them" the pages you are trying to load may simply be popular pages on overloaded servers. There is not much you can do to speed up a slow web site you don't run, although customers of certain ISPs such as America Online and Earthlink benefit from automatic caching of popular pages that makes popular content available to customers more quickly.

=========================
Of course, some pages are slow because of their content. A page made up of text will be faster to load than a site made up of large photographs. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but it takes much longer to transmit! Full motion video really requires a broadband connection for adequate performance.
=========================
If the answer is "
all web pages" you probably have a slow connection to the Internet. 56k dialup modems are slow.
Most "broadband" connections, such as DSL and cable modem, are roughly 26 times as fast as a 56k modem at its theoretical best. 56k is shorthand for roughly 56,000 bits per second, or roughly 7,000 characters per second. And in practice, "56k" modems almost never run at this maximum speed. The FCC limits the top speed to 53,000 bits per second in the United States, and the actual connection speed depends on your distance from your telephone company's central office, your type of phone wiring and the presence or absence of equipment belonging to your ISP in the same telephone company central office. In many cases, when you dial out to your ISP, there is a "details" or "more" button you can click to see at what speed the connection was actually made. If the connection speed is much slower than 36,000 bits per second, it may be worth asking the phone company to test your phone line for noise. Most phone companies do not promise modem connection speeds above just 9,600 bits per second, but that is something of a worst-case scenario and most connections are not that bad.
