This is just ticking me off royal...p.s my husband has the same problem with hotmail and M.S.N...
Answer:

It sounds like you're connecting to a public network - at the very worst the network might have monitoring or be very busy. If it's monitored you should immediately see about activating SSL protection on your email (change http:// to https:// to in the address bar). You should never be connecting to public wireless networks without using some kind of encryption between yourself and the web site itself - don't just rely on encryption between the wifi provider and yourself, it doesn't keep you protected. Secondly, it's not just yahoo, it's the wifi provider. It could be busy - even though you're getting a good connection to the wifi provider they could be on cheap, slow internet or simply overwhelmed by demand. Is the RV park very full? This can strain cheaper (sufficient demand can strain the most expensive equipment) hardware used in wireless networks and slow down everyone's perfomance.
