Since from yesterday, i am experiencing a very slow internet connection on my end. It is as slow as the snail and i am having problem to access many sites, including Mylot. Due to this problem, i am planning to slowdown and might be taking a few days off. Waiting for my service provider to overcome the problem. Even i am unable to open my Outlook to check the notification from Mylot. Have anyone experience this same problem?

I'll miss you myfb. Take care, my friend! And I hope your provider fixes things. I've had no troubles with my internet provider. My signal's always up, and fast too. I don't use Outlook for my mails, Yahoo is the way to go for me.

Seems like many of us always experienced slow internet connection. My recent loading problem is not coming from my computer but because of my service provider is doing some service upgrading in my area. Hope by now, your internet connection problem is solved.

If I were you, I would complain about the internet service provider and ask them to solve this problem as soon as possible. Are you sure that it is nothing wrong with your computer but your ISP? If possible, you can use another laptop to check it. If it has problem to connect other websites. It means that it is something wrong with the internet connection. I love China

Thanks Youless and Hanuma34 for your suggestions. Yes, i had tried using both my computer and laptop to test and both have very very slow connection. When i contact my service provider, they mentioned they are doing service upgrading and now it is fine again....

Hello myfb, I hope your connection is restored by now and working with full speed. I also heard from my friend who belong to your country, faced the same problem. In my office the connection is good as we are using the broadband. If there is problem with the connection then it won’t be available completely. Usually I am not facing any slow connection.

So far, the connection had been restored back like usual now. I am happy to see the speed is fine again. Wow, you are lucky to be able to online from your office. Yeah, for business, usually the boss is using high speed connection so there is no slow connection problem.

From time to time our internet connection will be slow at home. Most of the time when this happens I am able to speed it back up be both restarting my computer and also restarting the modem and the router. There is actually a commercial that comes on the television here that when you are having problems with your internect connectivity you should try to power down and then power back up. This has always worked for me unless we've had a major storm that actually knocks the lines out.

Yes, i ever tried to restart my modem and computer, whenever the connection is slow. Only sometimes it will works well. But, not every time. It won't helps especially when the connection problem is due to weather or the internet provider is doing some maintenance.

Sometimes, and i hate it. Try to ask your internet provider about your concern. And i hope you'll have a faster internet connection.

Yes always on my own computer at home due to my broadband wireless service. And one time it happened that i cannot connect to Mylot for four months and this makes me ill. But what i did was to move on and do something that is useful for me like readings. And this helps me a lot. So when i'm back to my Mylot i am fully equipped with lots of discussions to write. And again it will happen to me this month of July. How i wish to have my own laptop and better connection when i'm home.

It is a pity to hear that you always have this internet connection problem on and off regularly. Have you though of applying for a much better internet connection? Indeed, i am always spending my time on other useful offline matters, whenever i can't go online.

I had some trouble with my IP a few months ago. I usually just had to wait a day at a time before they fixed it..the problem was that it was several days on and off until they figured out it was in the main lines to my area. I hope they get it up and running for you soon. It is very aggravating.

Seems like, everyone of us tends to have this internet connection problem once in awhile. It is good they had solved your problem fast. Yes, they had solved my internet problem within a day, too.

Hi myfb Sorry to hear that your internet service is quite slow these days. I do hope it can be resolved as it will be tough to be without internet for a few days, when we become accustomed to being able to freely use it. Mine is doing fine, but there are moments only here in myLot that it is quite slow and I simply bear through and or take breaks. So I can understand the frustration you must be experiencing. I hope you can find time to rest and do somethings you have not been able to do recently, during your time away.

Yes, when we are used to go online daily, it is really hard to feel life without the internet connection, even for a few hours. Now, this connection problem had solved and i am happy with it. Hope to see you online again when you are free, my friend.

But good thing my cousin let me borrowed her USB form of internet connection but it's quite slow but can still be tolerated,hehe! I hope it'll be resolved soon so I will see you here more often.

Yes, whenever there is heavy rain and strong wind, i do experienced internet connection problem. But lucky, we don't have much rain here recently. The weather was too hot now. Hope to see you more often in Mylot, friend...

It must be a local problem. the speed is ok in Indiana.USA. However you can clean the C drive of your computer. Go to c drive properties- clean. Speed may improve. also in the browsers delete history. have a good day. Check for virus.

Thanks for your good advice, Ravi. I am cleaning my computer everyday whenever i want to shut down my computer. The recent loading problem is not because of my computer. It is 100% because of my service provider is doing some service upgrading in my area.

Its such a poor thing when internet slows down and we feel helpless as we can't do anything then wait for the internet to start working properly again so yes its a very poor situation which you are in.

Yes, you are right. I felt miserable and sad when my internet line goes very slow and i can't go online at all. Now, it is doing fine again.

I'm sorry myfb2009, I am sure many people will miss you on here. I hope you are able to get this problem fixed soon so you can come back and have fun on MyLot! :-) I think almost everyone has had trouble with slow internet at least once in their lifetime, LOL... Sometimes it's the computer, sometimes it's the connection, sometimes it's the service provider. You really won't know until you talk to your service provider. Perhaps they can come out and take a look. :-)

Yes, i am back here now, having fun giving my opinion again. Hope you have fun chatting and giving your opinion in Mylot, too. Indeed, i had spoken with my service provider after i am checking and make sure that my computer don't have any problem. My internet provider had helped me solved this slow loading issue. She mentioned to me that they are doing some upgrading in my area, that's why i am experiencing some slow connection.
