There is a way of improving this. It has something to do with your provider's DNS adress, but how it really works I don't know.
Go to settings
Select internet connections
Select connections
Select your provider and then press edit
Click "next" twice
Choose advanced
Select IP adresses
For primary DNS enter 8.8.8.8
For secondary enter 8.8.4.4
These are google DNS adresses and tend to resolve a lot quicker. Of course if you don't want "Big Brother" watching you, you can also enter open DNS adresses. You're going to have to look for them yourselves, cause I don't know what they are.
I saw this tip somewhere on this forum, but can't remember which thread.
