226 E-MAILS, Omgosh

I DON'T EXPECT A REPLY FROM YOU. HAVEN'T BEEN ON MUCH MYSELF THESE DAYS. TOO MUCH WORK AND NOT ENOUGH TIME. MY BLACKBERRY HAS BEEN GIVING TROUBLE AS IT GOT WET. LEFT IT OUTSIDE ON TABLE. SO IAM LOST WITHOUT IT BUT GOT A GOOD TIP. SOMEONE TOLD ME TO TAKE OUT THE BATTERY WHEN I GO HOME AND PUT IT IN RICE AND THEN DRY THE INSTRUMENT WITH A HAIR DRYER. SO I AM GOING TO TRY THIS WHEN I GET HOME. EVIDENTLY THE RICE ABSORBS THE WATER AROUND THE BATTERY. GLAD THAT YO ARE ONLINE AGAIN. TAKE CARE AND BLESSINGS

Hi friend!Obviously your ISP made a big mess and I could not blame you for being so annoyed. But, you are not alone my dear. My ISP at home is making me mad as well. I've been getting very low speed so that at home I could hardly use the internet. I would rather just turn off the computer instead of wasting time waiting for the page to load. In fact so mad was I that I wrote an article in Hubpages about my rant about Smartbro. That way, more people will read and will avoid SmartBro. That is my way of getting even with them and also to save prospective customers from experiencing the same ordeal on this ISP. Thanks my friend for this post. At least I have a chance to warn fellow Filipinos about getting SmartBro (if they are not located in Manila). For people in the Philippines who are planning to get SmartBro, Beware I hope you could read this first before you made a very big mistake. http://hubpages.com/hub/SMART-BRO-WIRELESS-BROADBAND-IS-A-BIG-DISAPPOINTMENT Despite the bad ISP you are having I still believe you deserve a wonderful weekend. Have a nice one okay!

I had people's pc then went to Qwest high speed and I didn't have problems with either one of them thankfully. Hope it all gets straightened out soon!

Our internet service is bundled with our cable. If we have cable, we have internet. It is expensive, but we've had little to no trouble.

Right now, I have over 3000 emails in my inbox. I have a really hard time keeping up. I especially get behind if we go on vacation. Even weekends get me behind because I don't do much online. I make all my money online, so it is important that I have access to emails. I understand how overwhelming it can be. Sometimes, I get to the point where I just delete everything.

I have my Internet service through my cable company and so far it has worked like a charm (knock on wood) but when I was using the phone company things like what happen to you happen to more times than I can count. Hang in there and it's understandable because things like that happens to the best of us. please don't worry and Take care. Snow

That is disgusting and you want to ask them if they are going to refund you the Money for those Days I know when it happened to me a couple of yours ago I got my Money refunded

I had a problem a few days ago, but it was with myLot, not my service. I didn't get notifications for about a day and then they all started coming in. By then I was way behind anyway from not getting online over the weekend.

Hi Jo. so far, i can say that i've got the best internet service in the city if not the best in the country. i do not have downtime so far but there are some parts of the province, of the island that i cannot get a good signal. by the way, my modem is USB so i can get to connect anywhere where there is computer. i still get numerous emails and most of them are coming from mylot, and i love it. but sometimes, if i get to monitor the site, the discussions, the comments, etc., i still notice that there are some notifications that come in late or do not come in at all. do you mean that you had 226 emails and when the service came back, the same 226 emails came in again to your email program, your inbox?

sounds like when i lived in florida. all the equipment from that old tiny town must have been from the begining of internet then to top it, it was dial-up. dial-up always sucks these days. on top of that, the weather was a factor. big windy, thunder rain storms, knocking out poles, and connections. almost daily so glad im where it seldome goes off now. so sorry about that lady. maybe take some of your notifies off and then just go check for new discussions on your friends profiles, when they reply on one of yours. i do that all the time and it helps me keep up with the friends that count.

Hi Jo! I knew a lady that had service with Frontier and she had constant problems with her service. I do have issues sometimes when there is bad weather and I know it is a pain in the rear. Take care and hopefully they will do better for you

I knew I had been missing you on here a few days, Jo! I'm glad to see you back. My internet service is with at&t. In fact, I'm bundling with them and I never have had any problems with them that I remember. I know what it's like to not be able to get on the computer for a day or two and then come back and have so many emails and especially a lot of notifications from mylot. It really takes time to go through them all, doesn't it? When this happens to me, I just have to delete some of them, too.

Hi Jo, We have been having trouble with phones here since the eathquake. I´m sure the company used the earthquake for it´s own interests. Don´t worry about answering all mails: noone can. Check the ones that are more important and delete the rest. It would be a pity if having friends turned out to be a pain. Your friends will understand. That´s what friends are for. As for this answer: "no not reply to this mail" as it is said so often at the bottom of spams when you want to give them a piece of your mind. HUG!

Oh, that was less than what I had weeks ago when the power was out and I had no time to go online, Notifications piled up to a thousand so I had to delete the older mails. Circumstances happens and we can't prevent that from happening..

So sorry about that and I just hate phone dial up I finally got cable and love it have you tried Charter?

I am also presently affected by the bad internet connection. Sometimes when I log in to any site it only show blank screen. Even mylot pages does not load properly and if it does, it will take ages and need to refresh frequently. I see some of my responses are doubled. Maybe there is problem with internet connections worldwide. I have another 2 weeks to be active here before I go MIA. So please don't write me off if I don't respond to your discussions as I will be on 3 months vacation in Australia and wouldn't know whether I can have a computer to use at my free will like I am doing now.
