FR has had the hick-ups and lagging response since about an hour before the last debate.

Tap the gas with your foot when you double=clutch and it smooths right out......sometimes.

Give you ISP hell with this little tool.

You can run as many at once as you want to to test you download speed. Works on smart phones too.

The U.N. is trying to figure out how to alter your login page to accept your charge card information.

Once they do that, in order to get on the internet, you’ll have to enter your User ID, password, charge card number and security code number (on the back of your card).

Don't know who your ISP is but Comcast is having a problem in South Texas.

No reason you can’t go into your connection settings and try ‘pointing’ it at another DNS server. Sometimes the primary & secondary servers from your ISP — the one’s that your internet connection automatically points you to — get fouled up.

We were having serious internet issues earlier in the week (using U-verse in DFW Metro North Texas) where web surfing took much longer than normal but once connected to a page download and upload speeds were normal, indicating a DNS latency issue. This is a really good tool for optimizing your DNS name lookup.

Fiber cable cut near Industry, Texas. That’s the problem.
