Hi John,

I was a bit suspicious of the solution because you said you had tried Firefox 
and it also had a problem. So it was not clear to me why two different browser 
would have a problem at the same time.

If it is a problem with Lion that slows down internet connections you would be 
the first one to find such. So I guess I have a couple of questions that may 
help identify the source (or not).

Are, in fact, both Safari and Firefox slow on your Lion installation?

Are either slow on a Snow Leopard installation if you still have one?

Try connecting you MacBook Pro up to someone else's internet / router and see 
if the problem persists.

Cheers,
Carlo
