Google changed over to the IPv6 yesterday...unfortunately for me, google switching to IPv6 made google's search engine and youtube purdy slow for me.
my operating system is old but I'm not going to shell out any cash to upgrade my OS cause they made this change, so
I fixed my problem by turning IPv6 OFF.
