[QUOTE="BearcatSA, post: 888680, member: 115542"] In fact, I took the iMac back to the store and the techs ran it through their internet (a higher speed than mine) and got similar results. They then loaded Firefox and ran through it yet got the same results. The rub for me is that to look more deeply into solving the problem they were going to charge me time, which I find bizarre considering I just purchased the computer from the store at the end of July (isn't this under warranty?). Rather than argue I took the computer home and tried to find a solution, with help from others in the Mac/cyber world. The main issue for me is that my old PC can't run the latest Flash Player (not enough memory) so uses an older version but loads and plays a variety of videos in more than half the time that this iMac does: same connection, same time of day, same modem. My service provider tested my modem and said it was fine. Maybe I need to run an older version of Flash Player on the iMac to equal the PC's performance, I don't know. I'll try my best with following the suggestions given to me here and I'll keep you posted. [/QUOTE]
