Response times?

I have DSL with Verizon. My response times are getting so bad on ALL sites, that I frequently
get a 'page can't be displayed' (time out?). Is anyone else getting bad response times?
When they changed something on the internet, I recall reading that response times would probably suffer. My response times seem to get slower and slower each day. Today
is the worse yet?

temper tantrum.
Slowing things down too much would be a give-a-way. So they slow everything down just a tad at a time.
