Yesterday was a struggle

Yesterday was a struggle with the internet. It was especially bad here, but over all it was rough.
I am sure there are many reasons for the internet to have trouble. One is that so many people are working from home or studying from home.
Secondly, we were having high winds that seem to affect our connection.
My problem here is the glitch that I have most of the time. It came back about the time we started shelter in place.
So I gave up last night and did not come here.
It takes me so long to get in here that I am not looking forward to going to eat breakfast and get dressed.
I also will have a zoom.
I am afraid I will not get back in later.
So I may put up a couple of discussions close together before I do those other things, just so they are here.
I am busy responding to notifications as well.
My connection seems much better today than it was yesterday and I did get in here a little more easily.
so I will take what I can get.

As long as the lockdown continues, there will be internet issues. Since everyone wants this lockdown, they must accept the negative effects.

@GardenGerty you might go through everything and be sure nothing has worked loose, like a connection spot

With all the extra demand for services over the internet there will be slowdowns and such. I noticed that Mylot was slow to load yesterday for a while then it got better as the day went on. Just one of the things we have to deal with as of now.

It was awful last night. Today, Wednesday, is a little better. I also ran a security scan and that was part of the problem as well.

It has gotten worse with the quarantine, more people using it. My entire internet is suffering as well.

You are right. Internet traffic has definitely increased a lot in this virus crisis. We too face a slow connectivity at times. Lot many people are using Internet.
