In the past 2 weeks, I've noticed a dramatic slowdown of my internet connection on my PC. Web pages will often either time out or only partially load.

At first, I thought it was my internet connection -- but for Christmas we got a Mac laptop, and the internet works fine on there. So, thinking there was something wrong with my PC, I ran Norton and AdAware to clear out any viruses/spyware. Didn't help.

So I pulled out an old Windows laptop, and I get the same slowdown on that system. This laptop wouldn't have the same virus/spyware/etc since it hasn't been used in over a year.

So why would the internet be working fine on my Mac, but not on my PC? Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
