Hi David
My first guess is that the problem lies with the Internet Service Profider; either you were on at a peak time or they had problems on their side.
Usually if it is the ISP, the problem will be resolved within a day. Don't blame your computer just yet.

Ask for/try different access numbers from your ISP.Way back when I was on dial-up (no choice),I got slightly better results by simply running a CAT5 line directly from the telephone interface to my PC.
*Gotta ask; Have you scanned for spyware,and the like?

You may have developed a phone line problem or bad connection. Have you added new phones or equipment to your phone line? Do you now hear noise in the background when using the phone? Try moving the phone wire around so that it does not run near the monitor or speakers or power lines.
