    Alright the last two months my Internet has been horrible when connecting to anything secured whether its USAA (bad), Chase (really bad), AT&T (95% of the time i can't even log in), Advance Auto Parts (might just be them though), and Sprint (on the slower side). Oh my my father in law says old second is being slow too. Those are the ones i can remember being an issue but when it comes to Google, NBR, TI, Amazon, hotmail, and many other sites it is instant.

    I also have AT&T DSL, which is hilarious that i can't even check my internet usage -_- Been recording that so i can tell them to jump a bridge if they try to charge me overage (so far haven't gone over 150GB surprisingly)

    So why is it in the last couple to few months anything that is bank related and secure is super duper uber duber slow. I appreciate any help.

    It depends I have a 25MB connection and Even been on a 300mb connection and Secure sites are still slow for me. AT&T, Capital One, Bank of America and so on, ALWAYS slow.

    its weird because AT&T was slow but not so bad i can't even log in 95% of the time. I have been logging it and screenshooting it so if i ever go over i can tell AT&T to screw it ^^ Also whats weird is USAA used to have the fastest site ever! But now it runs slow smae with Chase...well chase wasn't fast but not it runs like a fat cow. I haven't been able to try logging in from other locations but this is nuts

    Does this behavior persist across different browsers and operating systems?

    Have you rebooted your router? Maybe its connection table is running near full due to something like p2p file sharing, etc. See if you can look at any stats on your router that would indicate it is running near capacity.

    i'll reboot my router and it runs like that on xp win 7 and 4 different computers (I don't due P2P because 150GB limit) Plus AT&T would probably try to find a way to get me arrested for legit or illegal use becuase AT&T is bogus
