Is the internet very slow the last couple of days or is it my computer? I'm thinking that with all

[OregonBlue]

the kids out of school and so many people at home it may be that the whole internet is very slow but thought I'd ask.

1. mine is fine.

[BeFree]

2. Slower recently

[KittyWampus]

3. empty your cache. defragment. reset browser. ?

[OregonBlue]

4. Yeah, I did all of that. I've run several cleanups, emptied everything, cleaned registry, etc., etc.

still slow. But thanks.

[JBoy]

5. Just curious, is it warm where you are?

[OregonBlue]

8. LOL. Thanks, I needed a pick up. Yes, it's almost spring and up to about 60 during the day.

WooHoo!! Spring is just around the corner here.

6. I would think it's dependent on what you are accessing.

DU has been fine for me -- but Facebook is constipated. Everyone at home is trying to make connections through FB, I guess.

9. DU is slow and so is everything else. I live in the toolies and am lucky to have high speed internet

at all but sometimes the service slow. I imagine it's them but I thought I'd check.

7. The internet tubes are full of blowing snow,

and Obama's workers are slow blowing them out. This would be no problem if George was still Prez.

12. Then I'll just relax and wait for them to get around to mine.

11. Thanks. I test occasioally and it's always slower than what I'm paying for. CenturyTel is not a very

good provider but it is the only one I can get.

14. comcast bought my local company.

i wouldn't have become a customer voluntarily. my internet speed is generally good, though.

they made me replace my generation 1 cable modem from 2001. it was a pain in the ass to get the new one up and running, but it has improved the speed.

13. Mine is definitely slower. I figured it's because the entire East Coast is home in its jammies ...

... in front of the computer.

15. Internet is speedy as usual on Verizon's FiOS

The fiber-optics network isn't as hampered by the "neighborhood rush hour" as a cable network is.

[HopeHoops]

16. It is slow. Everybody has been stuck at home.

Some sites are faster than others. It depends on the fat pipes you have to use to reach the site.

[Mike 03]

17. My internet has been cutting out more than usual

I have no clue why. We have had really bad weather, but not today, for example, and it has been cutting in and out badly. No clue as to why.

18. Electron paths are covered by snow drifts..

Slows them down..

[ohheckyeah]

19. A good way to speed the Internet up is to

use Game Booster. It shuts down services running on your computer that you don't need to surf the Internet, and it's free.
