I've been having trouble joining servers lately, though the servers themselves are working fine. All it gives me is "Timed Out", almost every single time. (The others, I can't quite remember. :/) Another thing that might be connected to the timing out is that all images on webpages load really slowly. Could anyone help?
Please post more info. PC specs, if you use WiFi or Ethernet, what router, ISP, bandwidth, ping, server location(s), etc...
Inspiron 15
Intel Inside CORE i5
RAM: 6 GB (5.88 GB usable)
64-bit OS, x64 processor
Windows 8.1
Dell
I use WiFi.
If by server locations you mean the locations of the servers I'm trying to join in Minecraft, they're things like Mineplex, etc, that I should be able to join fine. They worked before too.
I'm leaning towards this being a problem with the internet and not my computer, because using some other internet seemed to work. Could be both my computer and the internet doing something wrong in conjunction, though. The other information that you asked I either don't know or don't want to post here for certain reasons. :/
Ok, your posted info looks A-OK, so let's run some tests to see if it's an issue with your internet connection, wifi, or internal network. First, test if you have issues with connecting to a server running on your own computer. Sometimes Windows is very dumb and even firewalls up that, or sometimes things just bug up, so it's worth testing. Next, run a server on another computer in your house and try to connect. Third, run Minecraft on another computer in your house and try to connect to a server on your own computer. Fourth, run Minecraft on another computer in your house and try to connect to an online server. Another optional thing you could test is hosting a server in your house and having a friend on the internet try to connect.

I don't seem to have issues with connecting to a server hosted by myself, except for a tiny bit of lag that should be a bother. All other computers (well, just the one other) seem to be able to connect to any server that is up. I can't seem to join any servers except my own without timing out. Also, something really odd happened last night when I was trying to figure out the problem. As absurd as this sounds, moving my computer about just 3 feet to the left makes everything working fine again. But I'm really not sure how that little of a distance would affect my connection, and it hasn't affected me before, so I'd still need help. :/
Would there happen to be anything in-between your computer and the router? A wall? What's in the wall at this location, outlets, a stud? Are there any other electronic devices, metal objects, or microwave ovens in the way?

There is a wall, but it's never stopped working before. There are a few outlets in the walls.
