On my new Nexus 7, with Google Chrome, wireless at home does great. I also added an AT&T hotspot off my iPhone and she is smoking hot with that too.

I've come to the same conclusion after talking to my IT guys at work.

I don't have any problems with this site with my home computer, business laptop, business computer or Iphone. At home I use Comcast and about once a month i have to shut everything down, unplug the cable and leave the power completely off for about 15 minutes. After that everything works great for another month. thats for all sites, not just this one.

Switching from Internet Explorer to Firefox has solved the problem. Many thanks!

I just don't understand the 'unplug for 15 minutes' stuff( being somewhat computer challenged)
Doesn't turning the computer off/on do the reboot, why does it need 15 minutes to get its act together, do the Gerbils need a rest? Every time I contact a company for tech support, the first thing I get is ' turn the machine off for5- 15 minutes'. Is this to allow the ISP to reconfigure your address or for your machine to reset, but without power how does it do this?
Can any one explain this, preferably in three syllable words or less.

I can't explain it but our bazillion dollar edit systems, which are PC based, require a 1 minute or so "wait" between a forced shutdown and a restart.

Welcome back Mark!  Now that you have narrowed it down to IE, you can delete and re-install IE with the latest software. Or, like most, stay with Mozilla or Chrome and never look back.
