Might want to try another DNS server (independent from your ISP). I currently use OpenDNS.
Also, the crazy javascript clusterf**k on most sites is probably the biggest resource hog when browsing. Again, the popular NoScript or uMatrix browser plug-ins can speed things up considerably.

I've been running the new system for about 10 months now with no problems until just the last month or two. I use adblock, flashcontrol and a couple of other extensions to help speed things up, and since the slowdown is "connecting", it's prior to any script or site issues.
That is a good idea to try OpenDNS, which I've used before. It could very well be Comcast is mucking things up - though I can't reproduce the problem at the moment. I'll give that a whirl the next time the connect issue crops up.

Could be. If they're skimming my Yonkers picks, they're outta luck, since I rarely play the jugheads. But maybe they could skim my loser Aqu, Tampa or SA selections and play those at Yonkers - they can't do any worse...
