It has happened so many times to me that the net connection will be very slow orelse there will be no connection at all.Its very disgusting not to have the connection as I am used to it.If that is the case I try to play games.If I am not in the mood I will swith off the computer. What would you do? Play games? paint? do some other work with your computer of switch off?

I have no broadband internet connection for almost 1 week now. i already called the internet operator to send a technician to fix my internet lines. it is only lucky i got a neighbor who keep his router open. i sniff the signals and using it now in my WIFI laptop. its kinda slow but it still better than no internet connection at all.

Well, it rarely happen with me especially whe it is heavy rain otherwise my net connection is perfect.Even if it happen, I feel very irritating and you know what I do. I simply switch off my laptop for an hour and take rest..in the meanwhile I do other pending work and then switch on my laptop again. I wish this doesn't happen..I really don't like it..all the best..

Yes it is very annoying when u want to do something important online and the connection is slow. I switched it off most of the times and drink my coffee and do something else that i like...like cooking. Sometimes i hang out with friends to make me feel better.

Well I had the same problem regarinding slow internet connection and yes, its very frustrating specially when you are in the mood for some good mylotting. Previously I used to play games like solitaire and such but I had a similar discussion here a few months back and there many friends advised me to open multiple mylot windows so that when I am stuck in one mylot window, the others are either opening or maybe in one window I have posted the response and its waiting to be tagged and so on. In that way, I always have some discussions to which I am responding or framing my responses. You can try this out, it really works.

I am staying at Bangalore and we have the BSNL Broadband connection here in my office and at home. Very rarely this problem of loading error will occur and it will clear within miniutes. so I never felt of doing something else. Most of the time a refresh will solve the problem. Earlier when we were using the Airtel broadband, it was superb. But when we moved out to the outskirts, we were compelled to take the BSNL and it works fine. We have this wireless connection for our laptops, which will always have this problem. But we will try to use minimum of these wireless connections

hi krepesh, Living in India usually means bad net. I got bad net most of time and i dont like it. Yes i like you too many a times actually switch off computer and then go out. Take my dog out for a walk. Play fetch ball with dog. Watch Television, read newspaper or phone friends to keep in touch with them. So if i am angry at net, i would phone to all my friends so you know we keep in touch and it can easily pass my one hour or more.

It hardly happens that net is not working. even if it shows loading error , It wont last for more than 10mins or around. In some rare days when that happens, I make articles or create something for my website offline so that when the connection comes back, I can upload it.

Such a thing, I also happened, first of all, I am an IT industry, I would be very accurate to determine why my computer is there such a problem, I would first check my own problems, find the reason, I would immediately solve the Then, to successfully connect to the network, if not my question, I will give network service providers to call to inform them of my problems, they will give me the shortest possible time to resolve.

When this happens to me i go for maintaining my computer,i usually do this by disk clean up and later also by the disk de fragmentation .This keeps your hard disk and thus your computer running better.Yes during my net disturbances i opt for painting in the computer,but not too long because only painting in a piece of paper gives me 100% satisfaction.I also try going out for a minute on to my balcony and by the time the net would have resolved the problem,thus i consider my balcony/sit out as alucky internet solver.

It also happened to me a lot of times. Lately, the net was very slow and it bugs me. It takes a couple of minutes to reload a page. When this thing happen, i play free cell or solitaire. I seldom paint in my computer. But most of the time, i just switch off the computer or let my sister use it.

hi friend, it also happened to me sometimes. i use mobile internet connection, you know kinda like a small flash drive. i always upset if the connection is down. i don't know who i have to blame. anyway, I didn't give up easily, i tried again and again, restart my computer, pull the modem out of its slot and plug it again until the internet was connected. i didn't care how many hours it took to make me online, friend. if i didn't make it, i would shut down my computer and watching TV instead and waiting one hour or more to turn on my computer again and tried to online
