My internet acts like it needs a cup of coffee

It has been slow going to get the internet up this morning. I do not know if it is storm affected or not. We have had overnight thunderstorms the last two nights. Lots of rain, some sound and light, etc. I was going to be good and get here first thing this morning, and you see where good intentions took me. It is Saturday. The cats have had treats and are outside. I have had coffee. I have had texts from my daughter. I will explain more of that in another post. Good morning. It is 69 F. and cloudy so far.

Good morning... I hope your internet starts working correctly soon... We haven't seen any rain but have had some clouds... There is a 10% chance of rain/storms this afternoon/evening. It's 74F at my house this morning. We're supposed to have a high of 93F today and we have 93% humidity right now.

Once I got it to come up it was fine. I did not believe the forecast for rain last night, butt it did happen.

@GardenGerty The predicted chances of rain here has been raised to 20% now... I'm still not sure I believe it. I'm glad your internet is acting okay again.

@DaddyEvil And now it is not. I think it is because AVG safe search got installed and is trying to take over. I did not install it. I know I removed it from another computer once, but cannot seem to this time. I did read that it just kind of attaches to other things and then is hard to get rid of.

I'm glad our internet made it through the rain and storm.

I think my problems are not weather related. They are still going on.

I do think that weather play a part for the internet especially if the cabling is not an underground one.

It is underground, though. At least I think it is. I am wondering if something is wrong with the equipment on the provider's end. I guess we will find out.

@GardenGerty If it is underground unless there are any natural disaster, it should not affect the internet unless it is the equipment or satelite at the provider side.

We got some rain yesterday evening. I don't think we got anything overnight

We have had so much rain this summer. It usually ends about mid June, but there has been no stopping it.

We were late up this morning too. It has been raining for a good while although it has stopped at the moment.

Rain is good when it comes at the right time.

Good morning. My internet is slow quite often. It shouldn't be for what I am paying.

I really agree about that but I may have some malware.

It was very humid and still though. It is better today, six days later. We are having 70's weather, some rain and some breezes.
