It was a great day when we ditched the local dial-up and got DSL from AT&T. I’m a little concerned that AT&T wants to abandon Missouri.
I dumped the Dell desk top in 2011 and have an iMac. That solved many issues. No attacks. Crap is easy to ID.
We have DSL from Century Link. I called them, and it’s only 0.7 mbps. When I couldn’t get Netflix, on blue ray, I tried out a free movie channel called crackle, and it got me connected.
It showed me the mbps and sometimes it fluctuated down to 0.1, so I think it’s the Wifi service. A message at the bottom of the TV screen kept saying reload was needed due to slow speed and advised to check with ISP.
The tech line claimed that there were no issues, and delivery was at 0.8 mbps. Miracle of Miracles, today Netflix worked fine on the blue ray all day.
I’m thinking about seeing if something faster is available, and how much it will cost. My desk top is a HP all in one. My laptop is a HP. I started having the most trouble with my desktop when I updated to windows 10, so have not updated the laptop, and probably won’t, since I don’t like windows 10.
I am a techno-illiterate. So I know the tech line hates to hear from me - they speak Greek Geek, and I have to ask them to define about every 3rd word. LOL I make them earn their money for sure.
