I am at a loss. Can anyone help?

You local internet connection? For me google is one of the fastest. You might
traceroute all the ones that cause you problems and see if they have something
in common. Also ping them to see if anything at all is getting through.

If the pings don't work contact your sysadmin as it is definitely not your
problem if they do not get through.

Ping failure is not evidence of network failure. For example, cnn.com
doesn't respond to pings.
