Net Speed

Somehow my computer's speed has gone back up to normal.

Out of the blue 2 1/2 months ago, my computer basically slowed down to a snail speed. Going from high-speed DSL to slow-speed DSL sucked a lot.

But tonight, somehow the speed has gone back up to where I can easily post again, without the lag making letters appear 5 seconds after I post them.

It took me 5 minutes to make posts a while back, but now I can do 5 posts in the time it took me these last few months.

As you can probably tell, I am happy about this. I mean the net is my life.

I swear I forgot what high-speed was like...

Browsing on theforce.net took 15 seconds to load the main page before, now it's taking less than 2 seconds.

I love it.

BTW, now I can go back to 20 posts per page, instead of the 5 per page I've been having to use to keep the loading times down.

We are in the process to connect to optical fiber in our neighbourhood, they can offer speed of 2mb or 10 mb, now I got ADSL(DSL) with 704kbs . Cant wait until I am hooked on, around summer I guess. It also includes "cable" tv, yeahy optical fibered cabel tv, it is the same as DVD quality. We can order films we want to see and then controll the films ourselvess, like pausing it if you have to visit the rest room. But it is the interrnet speed that tempted me in the first place. Think I go for the 10mb big grin

Wow...10mb...that's pretty damn fast.

My comp is at 300kb I think...I need a link to that free internet speed test to see how good it is.

I had a similar problem with my 256k DSL connection a couple of months ago everything slowed right down, when I complained, my ISP apologised and said it was due to ongoing server upgrades and stuff. But I'm full speed again so no more complaints, so glad I didnt have to back to my old dial up modem...

I do!

I have SpyBot Search&Destroy

I use it every two days, and it finds lots of adware, but it never helps.

Cause the same things was happening to me, typing a letter and waiting forever for it to show up, turned out my web browser was hijacked by one of those spy programs mad

But since you check it's OK! smile

I had exactly the same problem a couple of months ago, it took bloody ages to type anything!

I lost my rag in the end and wiped the HD in a fit of anger. But since then its been okay. Although I now use a firewall and virus checker more often.

Personally I think Cable is worse than DSL

Whenever I used my sister's Cable net it would always stop working all together for no reason and whenever there was a tiny storm it would go out.

I'm still trying to figure out if they're using dial-up over here or not roll eyes (sarcastic)
