I would recommend calling your Internet Service Provider and asking them.

Yeah, that's most likely not a problem with the computer itself. How is it connected to the internet? Wireless? Wired?

And if your ISP can't help you, you may want to try to see if there are any updates you can install (Apple logo->Software Update). I'm thinking this is something on your ISP's end though.

ok i'll see what i can do. we do have an area with really bad phone and internet reception, and we have had this isp for about 4 years and this has never happened before.
EDIT: nevermind i works fine now for some reason. this post can be locked.
