I had webpages that never loaded at 63. How bad would 103 be?

103 isn't too bad. It's 1/10th of a second after all.
Sounds like the issue has passed though?
The thing about the internet is that we don't get to pick the route our data takes, and the route is subject to change at any time.
The test you did where you connected the ethernet cable from a known good computer into your laptop is very good troubleshooting. I'd also disable the wifi just to be sure it's using the wired connection.
If it's slow on the wired connection on your laptop, but not slow on the desktop, that pretty well points to a software issue on your laptop. Try a variety of browsers.
PM me if you want to chat or do a remote session to troubleshoot after 5pm PST.
By the way, I like to go into Programs and Features (appwiz.cpl) and look at what's installed. Anything that looks unfamiliar I look up on a website called
www.shoultiremoveit.com. It can give you an idea of what the program does, and what reputation it has with others. Remove things you don't use or are known to be buggy or poor performing.
