Browser App Slow Loading

[Jbartu]

I am having an issue with my browser app lagging @ 5 seconds when I try to open it. I am using the stock browser, but never had this issue before. All other applications seem to be opening fine. I closed practically every running application, with no change. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

I get slow page loads occasionally on specific web sites, even mobile specific versions ie. m.fark.com

google.com/news is consistently fast though. My guess is that browser slowdowns are more the result of how vzw has their dns system configured in their network.

On a related note: Some sites I've seen have adds in them that seem convinced that I'm in Houston, TX when I'm actually in Florida. This is probably due to the routing choices vzw makes when accessing the larger internet.
