For the past few days of being so desperate looking for funds for my son's surgery, I decided to go back on mylot to earn a little by responding to my friends' discussions. But in almost 2 hours of being here, I was able to post only about 5 responses.
The reason? Poor internet connection.
So, what could you think when this happen? Will you stop from doing your online stuff or keep reconnecting and trying to get a good connection again and again? Will you allow bad internet connection spoil your day/night?

hello neil,
Actually,i seen you on and off thru yahoo.
Now i understand you got poor connection.
This always happens esp during weekdays until Sundays.
It's fine,don't get annoyed by this network problem.
I also understand what you feel regarding zayzay's and your blogs at the other site.
I again posted the links to friends whom i thought would be touched by zayzay's video.
I just don't know what will happen next as i also posted on my wall "signing off"
I really sad with the result and outcome of our postings on that site
Anyway,there is always a way...don't lost hope.
Have a wonderful weekend brother

i believe it's also the stress that keeps people from doing mylot too with poor internet connection? i would just turn this off and sleep, that's how i would do it.

That is very frustrating. Rather than let it spoil my evening, I would probably go find something else enjoyable to do.

I have had this happen to me from time to time and I find that if I try again to connect and can't get on or have more problems I just go do soemthing else. Sometimes it is because there are alot of people online and if you come back at a different time there won't be the jammed highway traffic.

Yeah, it's very sucks when we want to access internet and our internet connection is poor. I experience this situation at the moment. It has been 10 days now, and our internet connection in office doesn't show better connection. It's not slow connection but it disconnect suddenly for more than 10 minutes and it happen many times in a day. I have reported this to the provider but they couldn't fixed. They couldn't find the problem. This make us upset to the provider. Whereas, the access is fast when it's connected to internet. I hope it will be fine soon so I can do my work in mylot, otherwise I can't reach my payout this month

if the connection is vague, I stop doing online job rather than to feel very irritated and will have a bad day after. I do not push it, instead I recuperate on the other day.My problem is it is always I am busy at work and I have no time doing online. There are times I hate doing my offline job, and I don't want to touch it because it disturb my online earnings.I already computed what will i earn when i will work hard on line. I can take home $533 a month if I work hard. That is more bigger than my salary here at work.However I am not consistent because of my workload offline, i hate it but i have no choice since that is only the time I can use computer.
So for you, staying here at Mylot means a Good time?
well it is the same on me.

not only on mylot my friend. i have more to do online. and actually, i am not having a good time online for over two weeks now. since hearing from the doctors that our son needs a surgery, i keep myself more busy online, trying to earn more, begging from friends and even non-friends. i have to raise a lot for his surgery. and that's why i feel bad when the connection goes bad too.

I have come to accept that sometimes there is going to be a slow internet connection. I will try and re-boot my router by turning it off and then on again, and if that has no effect, I will re-boot my computer. If the connection is still slow, I will quit with the Internet until later because it is only going to cause frustration and stress.
Sometimes it could be just one site that is slow, and then I will quit working on the site for an hour and come back and try again when it is usually back up to speed. Computers and the internet can do strange things sometimes for no apparent reason.

this has been happening only for about a week but never been like this before. i only suspect a bad weather we are experiencing and i guess the provider could have notified their subscribers when something is really wrong with their system.
last night, it was really so bad so i only turned off the laptop and went to bed.

hi neildc I have cable internet so most of the time it never does'hang
up on me. Is there a provider you can call for help when you have poor internet connection? I am no computer genius but my son would know what to tell you about poor internet connections. I am so sorry about that as you needed to relax and come on here for awhile. I sure do wish I could tell you how to correct poor internet connections. I have had some problems with getting kicked off the net when the lights go off here for a few moments. but I have learned how to reset my modem and my router. hope those interuptions will quit so you can be h ere for awhile and just let your problems float away. I remember when I got the dreaded blue screen and we finally found out that one certain virus protection was not compatible with my old windows 2000 so we changed virus protection and all was go again

this happens not so frequent hatley. i mean, this only happens now that we have a poor weather too, so this could have affected the signal of the internet. if this is the only reason, i hope the sun shines completely today.
good thing you have your son there to help you out when you have computer related problems.

Hi Neil. I know how frustrating it can be when your internet connection is slow or broken. I used to have that all the time before I went with cable. We're very lucky where we live because we're actually the last house in our neighborhood where cable reaches. The houses up the road from us do not have cable available.
But I do remember back when we first got the internet. It was dial-up and it was awful! Still, I would think about how life was before the internet came around and I was thankful that I had it no matter how slow or bad it was.
If I were in your shoes, I'd just keep trying. Actually, I'm kind of in a similar situation. It looks like I'll be needing surgery, too. I just found out that I have two extremely large bone spurs in my neck that have actually connected the vertebrae and have pinched off the nerve to my right arm. The only way that can be fixed is with surgery, although the doctor has put me on steroids for now to see if it helps. I have an MRI scheduled for next Friday.
So tell Zayzay that he's not alone. Auntie Marti will be in another hospital on the other side of the world, thinking of him.
Anyway, the way I'd look at it is that every post I'm able to make is one small step closer to Zayzay having a more normal life. Oh, and, hopefully, I'll be able to help you a bit very soon. Because of back taxes with interest and penalties, money is tight here but I will be able to help a little. If I am able to sell one of my ideas through mail order companies, I may be able to help a LOT. In about a week, I'll be sending the letters off to 5 different mail order companies to see if they'll sell the first of my ideas that I've just completed. I'll keep you informed.
In the meantime, just do your best with your internet and try not to get too frustrated. Tell Zayzay his Auntie Marti loves him!

i have a usb wireless broadband and this really goes well when the weather is also fine. i mean, they said connection is good when the weather is also fine. for about a week now, we are also experiencing bad weather so i guess this really makes this connection bad.
i heard cable internet is really better than wireless. but since i also like to bring this connection whenever i work in the office or if i have to bring this laptop somewhere, i can also bring with me the modem. better than cable and fixed broadband connection.
i think i read about this problem of your marti. but unfortunately, i was not able to respond to it. i could be so blanked for days and i got no time to think a lot to post good discussions and respond and comment to others. i really feel so helpless with zayzay's surgery. but i am not losing hope. we will come to that very soon.
i wish you feel better soon too, marti.
i have been posting more on the other sites. i wish to give updates more often. there are helps coming in for his surgery, but so far, we have just collected about $400 which is very very far from the estimated cost.
you can see more of the developments regarding zayzay's surgery on facebook and on his blogsite.
take care.
love and hugs.

letran, actually that's what i did last night. but the service just remain the same this morning. hopefully this gets better later.
jaiho, i hate this because i never fail to pay my dues, i faithfully pay monthly so i don't think this is fair enough to get bad service.

I hate it when bad internet connection keeps hindering my work! I didn't reach 500 posts here in myLot yet so I don't have the privilege to copy-paste, and of course when there's poor connection, I always type my responses all over again. UGH. It's crazy! Sometimes I would have the patience to re-type, but sometimes I don't have the time anymore so I just let it be. I come again the next day and hope to God that it won't happen to me again. Hahaha. But I guess that's just the way it is, eh. Good day :)

yes you have to post more and reach 500 so you will enjoy the copy paste feature. poor weather we have here could be the main reason why we are experiencing poor connection. hope this gets better soon.

that happens all the time here in our country... internet servers are unreliable... they can't even properly handle traffic, causing lots of difficulties to their subscribers... so, whenever that happens... i shut my computer down and get a good book...

i agree and the the government could not do anything to solve this problem.
@bystander (2292)

we cannot make our government responsible for everything... we have our own responsibility regarding everything that happens to us... the least we could do is pester the our providers and servers with complaints... we pay them, we deserve a good service in return... also, we have a service agreement... we can complain against them... even sue them... and i did most of that... so, sometimes, i get the best from the worst...

and it is really disappointing. i also do not get this problem often and now, it could be the poor weather we have causing this poor internet connection. it is just adding injuries to what we are facing right now with our son's condition.

Hi Neil,
It is so bad when that happens, my internet brower was down for two days and I was going mad as I couldn't get on my computer, I hate it when that happens, it must have been awful when you are trying to earn some money and your internet is having problems connecting, I hope it is alright for you today. Hugs.

Hello kabayan every one of us onliners experience that frustrations. That can't be avoided because there were times slow connections occur though you have usually fast connections. Nothing I could do except wait a few hours and observe it if there would be no positive development. If there's then good if no then I have to wait patiently though I would be really mad.
Other options is , disconnect your current connection if you think you can change it to another that is faster.
That would be only choice for me if you would ask me...
Thanks kabayan...

Hi Neildc!.
I feel sorry to hear thats!.
Even sometimes we really work hard to do something thats we want its often fate don't allow that.
If I had bad connection I just close it and turn of my laptop. I will do what I can do like watch TV or cleaning my house.

Darling, wasting time is the same as rhrowing away bucks. Get-up, get moving and you'll find other way. Don't allow bad things to continue rolling down your lane!






Stand up, take a deep breath and start all over again.
You should learn to relax, okay.
Just be patient and everything will work out fine, okay.
Now smile for me.
TATA.
