Hello,
My neighbor just got Fios and after it was installed, it took 3-5 minutes for it to connect to the internet. After the first log on it is back to being 5 secs to load his home page. Tried disabling wireless but no joy. Any help?

How much ram memory on the computer? Fios tends to use more ram than cable/dsl (not much more but enough that if you are borderline it will make a difference) so if you are running windows xp with 256mb of ram for an example, that is possibly a contributing factor. boosing ram usually helps.
Also is this wireless or wired connection? Can you try both? Does it make a difference? You say it takes several minutes to load initially and then onces connected it runs fine. What happens if you close the browser completely, does it take a long time to reopen again or does it run smoothly afterward? Does it only get slow once the computer is rebooted and making its first connection after a boot or does it do the same thing after sleep mode or if you are away from the computer for a while?

It has 2 gig, and if you close the browser its back up very quickly. No wireless on board. I disabled the wireless on the router also. No problems with it until Fios. Still lost.
Thanks

I would actually download a 2nd browser like opera, just to test it, if I were a betting man, I would say that opera would open up quickly with no hitch where internet explorer takes forever.
Try it if you have an extra 2 minutes to download, install and test.

Thanks for the replies. He is gone until next week so I am compiling a list of things to try.
