The moral being: "Never get stuck between two men with stupid moustaches".
They should have moved, even if it meant renting for a few months.

That's funny; I haven't seen you here.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

The very first thing you need to do is learn to read, specifically, the red text under where it says "Welcome to the Lounge".

This is the wrong place to ask technical questions, as it clearly says at the top of the page.
Ask here: Ask a question[^] but try to explain what you have done to solve the problem - i.e. what the debugger shows you is happening, and how you got there.

I recently upgraded my DSL package from 3MB download to 6MB download. I initially wanted 12MB download but I was just a tad too far from the box to get 12MB consistently. My ISP uses AT&T's network and their U-verse gateway router (Pace 5268AC). The speed tests I've ran show the expected improvement over the same tests I ran earlier with my 3MB connection. The problem is the initial (finding and) loading of the web sites I visit. They are painfully slow. Even the internal configuration site (192.168.1.254) takes 15-20 seconds to finally show up in the browser (Chrome). Before I upgraded, I had slower download speeds, but the sites were found and the download started right away. Now I have faster download speeds, but it takes at least 15 seconds for the browser to find the site and start the download. After that, sites load very fast.
I'm thinking it is a setting someplace in the router but I've not a clue which one. I can't imagine it being the computer or a NIC setting since neither of those changed after the upgrade.
Anyone have a idea as to what I might check?
[update]
IE seems to load the sites noticeably faster. PINGing the sites (e.g., www.codeproject.com) also produces a plethora of "Request timed out" responses.
[/update]
Thanks.

Really sounds like you have a faulty modem if the same problem occurs on your phone for example. Call your isp and get a new one
Before you do that, set the DNS Servers in your Modem's web interface to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, those are Google's DNS servers and consistently fast.

Wireless devices are fine. It's just the one wired computer, which is only a few months old.

I did that almost right off the bat.

Did you try using another LAN port on your router?
Did you try resetting the LAN Interface on windows? The troubleshooter can do that, alternatively you can uninstall the driver in device manager and then hit "Scan for hardware changes" to reinstall it.
Something else you can try is executing "ping -t www.example.com" to see if the issue really comes from DNS lookups / your modem and not your browser.
Could just as well be an issue with your browser, which this test should show by replying within a few milliseconds or if it takes just as long as visiting pages your windows install.

There may be some truth to this. I tried opening a few sites with IE and they loaded noticeably faster. I'll research some more this week.

At that sort of speed, they should be paying you.

True, but this the US we're talking about here. Squeeze every last red cent you can out of the consumer, then lobby congress to try to get even more. 
Though to be fair, with those speeds, the cost is likely only a pinky finger, rather than an arm and a leg.

So... I've been known for years for the amount of coffee I drink, all day, every day. At home, I have well water which I like, but at work - it is city water and that I don't like. So, I filter it through ground coffee.
On my desk at work, I have a collection of cups: the one I had when I started there, a gift from my wife with my daughters picture on it, a cup from a friend when the visited their son in the Marines, and my current cup: one that looks like a prescription bottle. Most of them are in the 8 to 12 ounce range.
Well, today I got a new cup.. nothing fancy. Simple white design. But, its 60 ounces !
On Monday morning, during our regularly scheduled meeting, I plan to enter the room with the new cup and listen to jaws hit the floor.

I don't like coffee (makes me very sick), but that is AWESOME!

Can you drink it fast enough so that it's still at least lukewarm by the time you reach the bottom? Or are you gonna have to throw away half of it?

Hmmm.. I like my coffee hot, but if I drank 60 ounces.. I'd be a hurtin' unit.. I probably drink 60 ounces per day, but not at one sitting.

OK, so Madam decided she wanted to watch it, so I had to sit through it, and I was yawning all the way until about 30 minutes through the first episode, which was well enough written, but dull, dull, dull...
Then it made me laugh.
... And it continued to make me laugh!
IMO, It's worth sitting through the establishing scenes.

I see on the Rotten Tomatoes website it has a 88% approval rating. This is too low to condemn it outright. When/if it ever hits 95%, I will know to avoid it at all costs.

Well, tomorrow (Sunday) will be my 73rd birthday. Good Lord! How quickly did that creep up on me! I think back on the number of celebrities that passed at an earlier age. Should that scare me? Why am I not afraid? Somehow my body aged faster than my ability to think.
Despite arthritis and all sorts of aches and pains, I still remain active coding as a hobby. Currently I am making good progress mastering the Prism MVVM Framework (Version 6.3.0). I am even planning writing a beginner's article on getting started with Prism. The existing articles on this topic do not impress me at all.
Should I rather be planning for the arrival of the Grim Reaper? No! Screw him! I have no intention of falling victim to that SOB yet! I have so much more to achieve, before I will be ready for the final curtain.

So you are more or less Version 7.3 you old sack
All I read about/from you sounds more like Version 3.1. Keep going on like this, your physical Age is maybe 73, your personal Age is at least -20 from it.
All the best for you, looking Forward for your update to 10.1
