Well there could be quite a few reasons for this. 1) It could be at Jagex's end. They could be having problems with there server, or there's just been an update or near an update. 2) Deleting your temporary internet files is a common solution to a lot of Technical Issuses. Start>Control Panel>Internet Options>Delete Temporary Internet Files 3) You could try deleting your some programs that you don't use, so it quickens up your computer as a whole. 4)If you're using Dial Up, you could try and go during the not so busy times. Also check that no one is trying to use the phone, or there are not physical connection problems. Ie, there is no loose wires or 'Dogey' connections. 5) If it's due to you being on Dial Up(if you are) then you could upgrade to a better internet providor service. Maybe go to Anytime. I had that, and it's good and not too expensive. Anyway, hopefully one of my solutions will help you out a bit. :) Good Luck ;)
