You forgot to tell us how you connect to the Internet. If you connect using dialup, you're probably using a "web accelerator" from your ISP. These "accelerator" programs give the illusion that your connection is faster by compressing images; IOW you are downloading less data and therefore things seem faster. Naturally the images will be blurry or pixelated because not all the original data is downloaded. If this is your case, then turn off the web accelerator software. Refer to your ISP's support pages if you don't know how to do this. If this isn't your case, then please provide the missing details such as how you connect to the Internet (method/ISP), what browser you are using, if it happens with all browsers, and the answer to The First Question of Troubleshooting: assuming the issue didn't always exist, what changed between the time things worked and the time they didn't?

Check with T-mobile tech support then. I don't know what a "broad band dongle thing" is but your Internet Service Provider (from where you got it) will and will also know about known issues.

A dongle is similar to a wireless USB thing in a laptop!

The point was that the OP wasn't very descriptive about her hardware. In any case, I feel her next step is to contact the ISP anyway.
