What is happening with the net, it's been almost at a standstill through most of yesterday and still messed up.
My internet is so bad, I could neither read your thread, nor reply to it.
I love it. Thanks for posting the gif
No problems here in Wolbylaux.
Central NY.
I don’t know how today it will be. Yesterday I kept getting error messages. Pages wouldn’t display. Rebooted many times, changed phone numbers and finally gave up. Thought I was hacked.
I had problems for a couple of hours or more last nite in Colorado. approx. 5-7 pm mountain time.
“...couldn’t get a steady stream”.
OMG
Why bank in the middle east? Or is is West Bank in the middle east. So confusing.
Saw Palmetto ought to help,plenty up in Swampsnipers neck of the woods.
So was mine yesterday, for a few hours. I’m on a new CommieCast cable modem at 53Mbps down/13Mbps up and LinkSys 4Gb Router, but it slowed to > half that, by 1pm.
I shut down all apps, Unplugged the cable modem, router, replugged and restarted WIN-7 Pro. It was back-to-normal - actually above 53Mbps - after the restart.
Try www.speedtest.net/ for before/after unplug/replug procedures, for measuring diff.
Just trying to help...
Sucking badly in the Midwest. I thought it was century hell’s fault.

It’s been slow for about a week now on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Super slow response time and Netflix is nearly impossible.
LOL; hadn’t seen that one before!
I went for a period of about 3 months with poor internet connections.
It turned out to be someone stealing my WiFi because I believed Verizon and was using their default WEP secutity.
I discovered the problem whenI noticed one more IP address than I had equipment for.
Symptoms were: Roku would frequently lose sync and have to re-acquire the video; slow internet response; really slow internet response; and other things.
Apple’s iOS6 came out yesterday - everyone was likely updating their iPhones, iPads, AppleTV, etc. My iPhone update took over an hour via WiFi. I tried to do a simple security update to my MacBook about 10 last night, and it said it was going to take 6 hours. Did in this morning at 6:30 in 15 mins.
Been having the same issues w/ Netflix over the last few days as well, but internet connection has been fine. Thinking it might be on Netflix’s end.
Your answer is the most likely I am thinking, my puter went super slow as well, Yahoo mail lost my password and etc.
Apple could be the proverbial Skynet?
Myself I am just posting less and less on FR because I am prepping for when it all shuts down, which will happen soon, and I will be ready and not panicking like millions of entitlement internet users.

You read my mind. I didn’t know how to tactfully say it!
