The internet is painfully slow

It's 2:50 p.m. here in Nigeria, and the sun has finally made an appearance. It's quite hot, but I'm still hoping we get some rain soon because we really need it.
I'll be having lunch shortly, but before that, here's a quick update. I've been battling with a frustrating internet connection all day, and it's making it almost impossible to work on my online gigs.
Uploading on Google Forms has been painfully slow, and working on my other platforms has been just as frustrating. Even something as simple as liking a post takes several taps before it responds, and posting comments takes forever to go through.
I'm really hoping the internet improves soon so I can get back to working on the gigs I've planned for today.
Later, I'll give my mum a call to see how my stepdad is doing. That's the update for now. I hope everyone is doing well in your own part of the world. Stay safe and have a wonderful day.

That is very frustrating to have to deal with that slow speed or outages with your internet. I hope that improves so you can get your work done.
It's 91F here with a feels like temp of 101F and it isn't even noon here yet. I would love some rain here too!

I had trouble with my phone this morning. It was being sluggish. I restarted it and it worked fine.

I hope your internet service speeds up and stops being so frustrating! My computer froze up for quite a while when I was trying to make a new post. It finally went through.
