Default Interweb PC gurus

Ok for some reason when i go to the following sites...the page never loads completely or it loads like im on 56k:
www.aol.com
www.download.com
www.apple.com
www.monster.com
www.careerbuilder.com
www.verizonwireless.com
For some reason those sites just dont load for me. Im using Firefox. I cant run a adaware cus i dont have it installed. When i go to download it...guess where it takes me Ive flushed my DNS...cleared my cache...same thing with IE. For the life of me i cant figure out what caused this canundrum. Any ideas. Other websites load...its just those websites so far just refuse to load correctly.
