16. Hell that looks good to me

4. I guess a lot may depend

on exactly what you've got on your end. :rofl:

It's been fine here in the UK - maybe you're routing via Egypt or India whose current problems due to a ship's anchor whatever busting the Mediterannean cable look likely to last for 2 weeks or so.

6. I have a pretty new computer, 2 gig ram 128 gig video card etc

but it seems to have happened about the time the cable was severed, amazing that

7. Your end. Could be your ISP is just slow this mornning, or

it could be your computer has picked up a really bad virus or trojan!

:evilgrin:

[madokie]

10. My internet speed is the same as it is mostly, down a few kb\s and

I have a new install because at first I thought that might be the case and I wanted to change some partitions so I reformated and reloaded xp home and that hasn't made any difference. you've heard of a one horse town well thats what we have here only one ISP, no other options except satelite which is out of the question. thanks though

12. Did you shovel the snow from your driveway and sidewalk?

It will make it easier to get to the internet highway.

[madokie]

17. oh hell all this time I thought they were internet tubes ;-)

[DavidDvorkin]

19. Fishy to me too.

[madokie]

20. Oh but I like fish

I rebooted to my linux puppy operating system and its slower shit with this too so I guess it is in the internet tubes being plugged up or something

but when I run testmy.net it shows my speed to be what it pretty much always is 454 kb/s

[madokie]

21. Thought I would just add that apparently the internet tubes have been cleared

as I'm back up and running as fast as 474 kb/s can run ;-)

22. Ask Michael Chertoff

He probably knows everyone's download speed now. Packet by packet.
