    I find that speedtest.net ping results can be wrong. Open up cmd and typle "Ping google.com" and see what the results are.

    Could be your DNS server is slow to respond to requests for websites ? What ISP are you with and have they reported any issues ?

    yeah, your ping time are a bit high but they should not be causing web pages to feel extremely slow to load.

    As the user above me suggested, you should try changing your DNS server. I suggest changing it to Google DNS.

    I've been having the same issue all day, also with open dns. Just reverted to default dns settings, everything is now fine.

    Try flushing your DNS resolver cache if you're using Windows.

    In the Command Prompt, type in:
    ipconfig /flushdns

    You could also try using Google's DNS if Open DNS is a problem and using the default servers is not ideal.
