I often experience very slow internet surf. No idea where it comes
from, just that it started when I switched from opensuse to F25.
Today, I may have obtained a clue:
I normally use firefox.
Today I got the following issue:
- searched in google for "python os.path"
- clicked on the first linked
https://docs.python.org/2/library/os.path.html
- nothing happened (tried many times)
As a point of reference, that site comes up almost instantly for me on
F25, running a custom compiled version of nightly (the rawhide of
firefox). And also when I run the Fedora package version of Firefox
(current as of yesterday).
Given your description of what you've already tried to isolate the
problem, I think it is something in your web access, either DNS or
ISP. Another possibility; when web response is slow here, it is
usually a traffic problem on the site I am accessing, that they are
slowing down because of heavy usage, but I doubt that is the case for
the
python.org site.
I don't see how switching distros could cause this; maybe someone else
can think of a way.
