Slow BROWSING speed though fast DOWNLOAD speeds?

Hi.
I have this problem, I got ATT DSL 3.0Mbps internet service, which is supposed to be very fast however my browsing speed is painfully slow (I mean it, 1min + to open popular websites such as yahoo or google) and sometimes is so slow that it times out (“cant find page” error.) That happens regardless of the web browser or OS (I got 3 computers, one is a windows XP with google chrome web browser and internet explorer, and the other two are macs one using safari and the other firefox.) The downloads speed for files (300mb+ is very fast, 300kps, torrents 300kbps+, web-based speed testings say that the conection indeed is 2Mbps~2.5Mbps depending at what time or server I test it, and my brother plays WOW the whole day without problem, yet the browsing speed is stupidly slow even if nothing else than browsing is occuring)
The problems is fixed for 15-20mins every time i reset the router (which is brand new netgear with integrated DSL modem, because i thought that maybe the OLD one that i had was the prob, but it wasent) and sometimes (not lately) the conexion is just fine for hours before getting REALLY SLOW.
any thoughts?

Your DNS cache has been corrupted by a poison attack. It’s fairly common this month.
Unplug the power of your DSL bridge for 3-5 minutes. Then plug it back in. This will get you a new IP address which may prevent some of the attacks for a few days.
Wait for all the lights to stabilize.
Unplug power to your wireless router for 10-20 seconds, then plug it back in.
Next up, for Windows, open a command prompt and type in “ipconfig /flushdns” and then press the enter key on your keyboard. Omit the quotes. This will flush your DNS cache. If it is corrupted this will fix it.
Make sure you have all of your web browsers closed when you flush the DNS cache.
For a Mac running Leopard you open a terminal and type in
“dnscacheutil -flushcache” and press enter, again OMIT the quotes.
For Mac OS 10.5.1 and earlier you open a terminal and type in
“lookupd -flushcache” and press enter, again OMIT the quotes.
