RARGH.

internet is worth SHIT. It's been slow as all fucking hells for a week or so -- i mean, seriously, ten minutes to load one stupid page and timings out all the friggin time, and download speed of around 4 Ko/MINUTE. then this afternoon it stopped working.

And just after i call to get a repairguy to come here tomorrow morning... INTERNET WORKS AGAIN. Liek, WTF, mate. And it seems to be quick once again, too. Rargh. I don't want to look stupid in front of the repairperson, but it also means that if internet keeps working, i will see sera-love tomorrow morning. <_<;;;; I guess I don't feel too bad about making the guy come here, because after all it could happen again and i want to know what the hell was wrong in the first place. Still, if i'm not online for a little while, you'll all know why u_u;;;;;

Is this a slow down that happened recently and suddenly? Or hads it been a slow degradation? Just wondering because I had a similar problem and it turned out that my modem was fried. >.< If you've had your modem a while, you might want to replace it.

Of course, if you're running on anything other than dial-up, my advice is a bit moot. ^.^;;

I'm having similar problems - have been for the last 3 days or so, actually. Everything is un....be....liev...ab....ly.... slow. ::kicks it:: I get slooooow service for the first ten minutes or so, then it cuts out completely and nothing comes through at all, so I redial and get the same pattern over and over again.
