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!
I still have photos of them in my old IT study books!

I actually know what a dongle is, Mick. 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.
