Is the interweb slowing down?

[Mr. K]

I have noticed that Facebook and Outlook mail and You tube are extremely slow this afternoon.

Does anyone else here see this? Is there getting to be too much traffic?

I got that windows 8 virus so things are a bit slower than the old puter. The mouse has to click a couple times to wake 8 up but other than the new technology all is well.

You might not want to brag about that....what does your gal think about your ‘fast’ hook-up?

[Mastador1]

I’m going with delayed reaction to Y2K.

I hear the 'net may be reaching capacity, read and try this.

;)

.what does your gal think about your ‘fast’ hook-up?

She can't read anyway.

[Coldwater Creek]

Very slow. I have had to reboot several times.

Go here and see if there is a traffic jam.

My own loading of websites has slowed down this weekend with no pages loading at all then starting to after it seems to be minutes. It comes and goes. Maybe the NSA is jut doing a virus scan or maybe loading new ones on all our computers

I believe that you are onto the problem here.

With a little over 24 hours remaining in the open enslavement to the Obama administration, the slow-down can be traced to all of the crotchety-old seniors who have never interneted before, that are attempting to enroll in Obamacare before the deadline passes. Not being nearly as smart and wise as seniors from Nevada, (I mean seriously folks, who amongst us really knows what a Bunny Ranch is?),
people who have never ‘chatted’, ‘pinged an IP’ or experienced a ‘blue screen of death’(relax old people, that is not related to your last EKG) cannot be expected to be able to responsibly enroll on their own in this wonderful entitlement program.

I would hope and expect that those who are unable to enroll in OCare due to gross stupidity on their own part, are afforded the opportunity to meet with their regional death panel commission at the earliest possible time so that the internet may be returned to those worthy of living to 2015.

Thank you comrades...

I wonder what this guy is up to today? Rich with several beautiful girlfriends or posting here on Free Republic?

[csmusaret]

My puter was very slow and acting up. I discovered I had inadvertently downloaded QuickShare. As soon as I un-installed it I was back to normal...Or at least my computer was.

This happens in late March every year, just prior to the annual “Internet Cleaning” on April 1st.

I trust you all know to disconnect all computers and peripherals from the internet on April 1st to prevent any digital debris from the high-powered data flush from getting clogged in your operating systems.

So if i put a picture of a pretty girl into one of those tubes and sent it to you it would get slowed down by nonsense like this?

How long did that take? Or did it get hung up on those little strings on the bottom?

[driftdiver]

I think that needs more study.

[Norski]

ROFLMAO!!!!!!

[Terry L Smith]

Yeah, it’s called college basketball.

[Delta 21]

Yeah, I noticed that my Win8 doesn’t like to wake up like it used to since the last update. I just hit the Windows key and it knows I mean business and wakes right up. Its like my mouse doesn’t wake it up at all.

[Delta 21]

Can you imagine having to wait more than 60 or 70 microseconds to get a response from the internet?

[mountainlion]

Its like my mouse doesn’t wake it up at all.

Check for d-CON virus.
