The problem is not my computers or Internet connection. The Lowes site
is the
one with the problem, and the problem is the same at home and at the
office. It
boggles my mind that the brass at Lowes would allow this problem to
continue.
They need to jerk a knot in some web designers.

I have no problem with it. I have TWC RR and the site opened in less
than 3 seconds, as did the various links on the site..

Same here. A lot of web designers simply forget not everyone has a big
pipe or maybe doesn't have it all of the time.

In the case of Lowes, a bigger pipe doesn't help. The site is
useless, even in-store.

Another example is our states highway department web site. It used to
have a really clean interface and I used it a lot from my smartphone
when on the road because you could get live feeds from all of the
traffic cameras. A few months ago they replaced the web site with a
really fancy overdone site that is impossible to use from a mobile browser.
