Q: How do I speed up my internet connection with a Power Mac 8 when using ATT-Verse?

Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...

10.5, 10.6, 10.7 & 10.8…

System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.

10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x/10.8.x instructions...

System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.

The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.

For slow page loading, try this...

For 10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8/10.9 > Network Pref Pane, highlight Interface>Advanced button>DNS tab>little + icon.

Try putting these numbers in...

208.67.222.222

208.67.220.220

Also, turn off IPv6:

System Preferences » Network » Ethernet » TCP/IP tab » Configure IPv6

Or whatever Interface you use.

Can you confirm that "OS 10.4.11" in your equipment profile is correct? I'm also not sure what  a "PowerMac 8" is. Some clarification might help.
