Williewonka raises good questions. B_limo, one thing I would suggest that you do is to test your Internet connection speed by going to www.speedtest.net. Wait for the "Begin Test" button to appear, and click it to start the test. (Do NOT click any of the other buttons on the page, which despite their appearance are advertisements).
Also, if you are using WiFi it may help to change the channel. That would be done in the settings of your wireless router or access point. WiFi channels are numbered 1 through 11 (in the USA; up to slightly higher numbers in some other countries), and if you are on a channel that is the same as or close to a channel used by a neighbor, or a cordless phone or other wireless device, that could be causing the problem. Using software that came with some of my WiFi adapters I've found that my neighbors use channels 1 and 6, which I suspect are the default settings of their wireless routers or access points, so I use channel 11.
