slow connection

Well if you're here in the Philippines, then i guess you know how intenet service provider works here. They're pretty lousy when it comes to service. Sometimes to a point that they themselves don't know what they're doing. "We're doing updates" is a classic alibi just to keep u (wrongly)informed. Let's just hope your normal speed will be back soon.

Well,it's ok on my end these days~Have you checked you broad band?Sometime,it will be the problem of the nextwork provider,not your pc~Furthermore,it will sometime the antivirus which protects your pc and will slow down the connection to the side.And,it is what you mentioned,maybe the maintance of the website you want to access. Good luck~~

Hey! I belive you have AVG. It's not a problem with your internet, it's a problem with AVG. I believe the CTF files hold the information about the release date of your virus definition..when they get corrupt AVG will tell you about the Control CTF file error..it cannot "read" the information no more and therefore it cannot determine if you have the latest update & you get the error message. I have posted about this before, but you can go to this website..and the person describes how to exactly fix the problem: http://drmikessteakdinner.com/2008/10/22/how-to-solve-invalid-update-control-ctf-file-errors-on-avg/ Cheers!

Yes, this happens to me also. Some times it get so slow that it almost takes forever to load a single page. Sometimes it is due to some hardware somewhere in the network and sometimes it is due to software problems like virus or browser problems.

The reason why your net is slow maybe due to network provider problem...but did you try after clearing browser cache and cookies.. And for you anti-virus problem...same thing has happened to me twice before..no idea what causes it but it will be fine once you uninstall and reinstall it.

hi maroseqf...............i had to such problems related to slow internet.....i also had some unique problem in my internet as sometimes when i do too much of internet like i do just now then it stops connecting for some few days......i'a fed up of this problem.......moreover i take about haf a minute to upload a site on my internet................i am using kaspersky as my frnd suggested me to use it as it consumes less spedd but still my internet is too slow...............

I do think it must be something to do with your internet connection. I really hope that after a few hours your internet service provider has fixed he problems and that you internet connection is back to normal.

dont ever feel like that... just take a little break and walk outside for 5 mins. when you come back, try to figure out what is the problem... do you usually clean out your cookies? turn off your modem and restart your computer again, see if it helps. im not good with computer either, but I dont like to feel bad cuz of thing that is not my problem... :) Good luck and hope you get over it soon.

haha, yeah. I am having troubles the past few days also with my internet connection. I understand how you feel especially if your life revolves around the computer or the internet world (world wide web). I was pissed also especially if the problem arises during weekdays since I have work to do and my work involves downloading and uploading. Imagine how long it will take me. and just now, your profile page is not loading properly. haha! Okay, I checked up on you. I thought we're on the same planet. And guess what? We're both from the same country. maybe the internet here in our country is having problems, don't you think? What's your internet provider by the way? I'm sorry if I didn't read the past comments. ^^ We're using PLDT, 3mbps (supposedly).

I always find the network in my place is very slow, especially at the night and on the weekends. I think maybe many people are using the net at that time, and the rush makes me can not enjoy the net. So if I really have to use the net, I will ry to use it during the day time, so that I can make posts here, find what I need .

I think because of network updates you are facing the speed problem.For me the net is disconnected the whole day when an update is going on.It feels boring when the net is slow.I experience it sometimes.Don't worry after the update the speed will be normal again.

I've been experiencing problems with my internet as well. I know how irritating it is. Another problem is whenever you call technical support they are mostly in a hurry to finish the call right away without regard to the caller. Probably concerned about their handling time. I hope your internet gets fixed soon and mine likewise.

We had to call our internet company the other day because our internet and cable wasn't working. The company told us they were doing some changes to get ready for the transfer over to digital so that is why we were having problems. Do you have cable modem? If you don't then I don't know what your problem could be unless it is all link with the whole digital thing. Hope you can get your problem fixed!

Maybe beacause your out of space so thats why it takes time to load page .

[i]Hi rose, Ohhhh...I am experiencing the same today, it is 5 am here and my connection is way too slow! I am searching jobs online and at the same time working here in mylot and it pissed me off also to wait this long! [/i]

if this happen i just walk away. har har har. i turn off the pc and just do something else. when i am at the pc i also download i need for work so when it is slow its a waste of time. i just check again if it is fast enough. it is very irritating if it is slow. slower than dial up har har har. i would rather go and have a bite than to get pissed

Uh oh. I hope everything will be better soon. The connection can be very slow at times when many people are using it. Mine is sometimes like this and I can't open multiple tabs here on mylot so I just forget about it and do something else. I think nowadays we forget that there are other things to do aside from sit in front of the computer...

Try using your computer the normal ways without internet application and if still same problem maybe check online using microsoft online scanner to eliminate any possible malware that causing your computer to a half effect. most malware or virus even up to date antivirus sometimes cant be detected. http://onecare.live.com/site/en-US/default.htm All in one application that run an online scan of your computer for virus, cleans your drive for unnecessary clutter and tuneup your computer for better performance. thats the last option and the best way to eliminate and refresh your system.

A slow internet connection affects your PC's performance whenever you surf the web. If your PC is slow even when doing things offline, most probably you have to clean your PC. Delete excess files, folders or programs and run your antivirus program. Otherwise, check your internet speed using this online bandwidth tester at www.speedtest.net. Record your speed, compare it with your subscribed speed. If the discrepancy is such, report it to your ISP.

some anti virus do slow down your computer.. but it can be the sites which might be down like ppcliks is down today. But if you are using broadband connection then u can chk ur speed here http://www.speedtest.net/
