IE Hangs Up For More Than A Minute When Clicking On New URL

I recently upgraded from IE 6 to IE 7 in hopes that I would not have to wait
so long for a site to complete loading after I clicked on a URL. Neither
this upgrade nor moving from WIN2000 to WIN XP helped to resolve the problem.
When I first connect or when I connect to an outside link when I am already
in a site, it takes nearly 1 1/2 minutes for the site to materialize.
I have cleaned out temporary internet files and caches, lowered my security
level, and run various clean up utilities in hope of resolving this
aggravating problem. Any ideas?

Neither a web browser nor an operating system affects your speed to the
internet. That is determined entirely by your ISP.

Are you running WinXP SP2 or WinXP SP3?

=> Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode? To start
IE7 in No Add-ons mode:

1. Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without Add-ons;
or

2. Start | (All) Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet Explorer
(No add-ons).

Troubleshooting and Internet Explorer’s (No Add-ons) Mode:

=> Does the problem persist if you Reset IE7 Advanced settings (RIES)?
