Everything is slow, internet surfing, newsgroups, even emais is a problem.
Sites either won;t load or take 10 minutes to load the homepage. If I try
to download from newgroups, it will start a download and then it just stops.

The same thing happened Thursday night, but tehn it cleared up after 10 pm.
Now its bad again.

If I ping the various DNS servers I am pretty regularly, but not always,
seeing 25% packet loss. Here is an example:

It's not exactly spectacular, but no packet loss from here:

The other addresses you used were all faster & 0 losses.

Perhaps you have some issues on your home-line? Try going to another
site and pinging from there. dnsstuff.com is one place you can do that
from; lots of others available. Best would be to locate one
geographically close to you so the comparisons are apples to apples.
Using tracert might provide some interesting data. Here's how mine
works:
F:\>tracert 151.204.0.85

Tracing route to nspen.bellatlantic.net [151.204.0.85]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms dslrouter [192.168.1.1]
2 36 ms 35 ms 34 ms 10.16.7.1
3 35 ms 34 ms 35 ms ge-2-2-0-0.CORE-RTR1.SYR.verizon-gni.net

7 47 ms 47 ms 47 ms nspen.bellatlantic.net [151.204.0.85]

Trace complete.

Interesting note: If I don't use the -d, it complains it cannot resolve
the system name and fails to trace. Perhaps temporary, but ... .

Ever since Saturday, the whole news download has gone from a constant
5mb (my max) to about 2 or 2.5 mb max. So something happened over the
weekend. In the Md area.
