I do not think you want to revert to IE8 no matter what anyone says. And I am not really sure you can revert back to IE8 on a W7 system since you never had it in the first place.
IE9 works just fine. That is not your problem.
You will have to do some investigative work to try and determine what your slowdown is. First of all is it all internet sites or just some? Some sites are slower than others. Can you look at Task Manager to see if any app is using a lot of CPU? After you reboot does your problem go away? Is it al the time or at intervals. Just some things to consider.
You can always load Google's Chrome or Mozilla's Firefox. I personally find them inferior to IE9. But that is just my opinion. To each his own.

I bought a new Toshiba laptop a little over a year ago. It has Windows 7 and came with IE 8. My husband's HP desktop, purchased 2 years ago, came with IE 8. Perhaps newer computers come with IE 9 as the default browser? You are right, that many things can cause computers to be slow. Malware comes to my mind and scanning with a good anti-spyware program would be one of the first things I would do. Make sure your internet security program is updating virus definitions and running regular scans. Does it have a good firewall? Override the settings to do a scan on your own. Download Malwarebytes if you do not already have it. Update it and run a complete scan. I never have an issue with Comcast being slow. I DO find Google Chrome to be faster than Internet Explorer and that is probably due to the fact that it is basically a "stripped down" browser without the bells and whistles of IE.
