At home I have AOL, (I know, don't say it), and a 56K modem, w/ a 333Mhz PC. At work, I have a brand new dell Laptop that's like, I don't know, 1.6Ghz, with LAN/T1/100+MB connection. So, Why is my surfing at work so damn slow? Yahoo takes seconds to load at work, while at home, it's almost instant.

Is my company slowing down my surfing? Or is it a configuration problem? (I hate Windows)
