Hi friends, I am having trouble last night and until now of my internet connection is very slow and always interrupted. I have to restart again to connect it. This is weird for me for i havent experience it before. I have dsl connection and usually it is very fast to load. This day only i think i already restarted my personal computer for 10 times for it is always interrupt. I dont have any idea about this thing. Is it because my internet service provider or my cp is having a probelem?

I am in the UK and my internet service is great. My husband and I have our TV service, internet broadband, telephone and our two mobiles all with the same company and they are great. I don't know if I am allowed to put the name on here or not so I wont - but we get great service from these people.

Well, I have plain old dialup, which is slower than most folks want, but I am patient, and used to the speed at which it works. I have had the same internet provider for 6 years, and hardly ever have any problems with it. C.C.

Hello,Margarit! The same problem I had last night.I had inquired about the repeated failure to connect the website and understood that it was due to some internal problem of the website itself.So I ended my search and closed the computer.But today it is working nicely with normal speed.thanx.

It could be your internet connection. What I should do is to call your internet provider and find if they are having difficulty. More then likely, giving the season, one of the lines is broken. If they are having a problem, you may have to wait because most of the people in your neighborhood will be having the same problem.

the surfing speed is pretty decent for me, but downloading speed is too darn slow... well it is slower than usual though. Usually, the downloading speed is like 600 ~ 800 kb/s, but for the program that I use to download (it's the only foreign program I use to download other things) goes up to 250 ~ 300 kb/s. Now, that thing is only like 80kb/s, and other program I use is... as usual (15 ~ 30kb/s) -_-;; pathetic isn't it?

The same with your problem friend my computer always interrupted and we need to fix it first before to use it again. Always need to restart for good connection. And if that was happened I called the costumer service in our area why it was happened. Some times they tell me we have a poor connection or no connection. I have used wireless broad band internet at smart which somebody toil me it was slow in connection. Or my cp got problem instead.

Hi margarit! How are you? So far, my internet connection has no problem at all and I am happy to have it this way . So far, I have not encountered any problem with my internet connection ever since it was installed more than a year ago. Having a broadband is such a big leap and improvement from dial-up which we previously used at home. I think that either your computer or the connection has a problem. I am not a professional on this but usually, if you are already using DSL, your computer must be the one with a problem.

Hello, Margarit. I cannot diagnose your problem just by these few words. In fact, I have a DSL Internet connection too. Sometimes it gets like that. Might be something with your Internet Provider. Try calling them and asking them why is it like that. They will pass you a battery of things that you can do to fix it. You can try many of their solutions and find no results, though. And if that happens, they will send a technician over to your house. Why not try calling them? Respectfully, Munhozmib.

I sometimes get problems with my internet connection and I am quite used to it. When I cannot get a good connection after I have reset the modem a couple of times, I just turn everything off and go to sleep. This is not a good service but it is not mine. I just use it. Cheers!!

my internet connection is fine. I got ADSL with up to 2mbps download and 400kbps upload. in my area there are less troubles, so I got somehow lucky in my place. sometimes when your connection is slow is that, the problem is within your PC. it may have a virus or a faulty LAN card or the modem itself.
