At his suggestion, I purchased a much higher capacity wireless USB adapter than the one Century Link installed and this seems to have done the trick. Century Link high speed is delivered at 10 mbps and I am now at a 8+ and performing much better. Oh yes, I purchased the Netgear N900 adapter for $35 online, Walmart's cost for this same adapter is $65 plus tax.

Warren... I believe we're talking about two different issues here. I don't have a speed issue, when checking speed with speedtest.net. I have the 10Mb/s service and that's pretty much what I get. So, no complaints with that.
My issue, as well as some other folks on here, has been the instances of getting "Webpage not Found" when trying to access a site. If they have a DNS problem, it slows down the loading of pages, so you would have the effect of a slow internet.
Glad you issue is fixed... Mine seems to be corrected also [with new DNS Nameservers] and only time will tell.
