Since about 1 PM Pacific time, the internet has been really, really slow.
Wondering if it's me or my machine or outside...
The NSA data sifter must be slow.
In actual fact, I might be very close to retiring my wireless router and putting in a Belkin...
All the time thanks to Century Link and friends of mine complain of the same thing.
The internet is one gigantic pipe, apparently.
CenturyLink speeds along here at .750mps or there ‘bouts. More if they feed the hamster running the wheel.
Every time some libtard shows up to bash Cruz or Trump I see evidence of the internet’s slowest. It’s been going on for a couple of months now and getting especially tardy of late.
Well, I am on Centurylink also. They are busy every single day pushing their gigabit connection speeds... and I have been wondering if plain old 1.5MBS DSL is old stuff and too slow for them to even notice.
Out here it’s Centurylink or Comcast. Talk about lack of choice...
A lot of slow web browsing is caused by slow DNS name servers. You can try switching to a public name server instead of using the one provided by your ISP.
CenturyLink received something like $800,000 to upgrade the town when they took over from Verizon that used to service our area. They said not enough people (town population) to bother with and used the money elsewhere. They did put in fiber cable in the firehouse and community center and the small wide space in the road called our town (a restaurant, gas/market station, three real estate offices and a liquor store). Most folks live out of that town in the surrounding hills and are on a DSL land line which we are told can’t handle higher speeds. We’d need fiber and CL says good luck with us putting it in.
Yes yes and yes!
