How is Your Internet? COME ON MEMBERS POST and let Us Know

[Ladybbird]

What is your signal like where you are? For the past few days the signal we have been receiving both from Santo Domingo and from Puerto Rico is pants. I am thinking Woodcreeker's warning a while back that the internet as a whole is going to get worse, is right. Here is mine

CRAP sums it up. They were selling it as high Speed. Dam dial up was faster half the time. After I reamed Bell out for 20 mins on how there were ripping me off they dropped the monthly rte from 49.00 to 20.00. Still CRAP.

I later talked with a service rep (not India) and he admitted that the cell tower i am on is overloaded with usesrs and need to be up graded.

sometimes it's not that bad other times my CNX will not even work with the connection. I have had pings as high as 2580.

I know who you feel. We have only 2 choices here and the other providers were a bunch of crooks, mine was worse with them. When we changed to the new provider, we saw a great improvement and were receiving the 1.5 MB we were paying for. We pay $130 PER MONTH!!!! for that and the phone. A nightmare because now their service has dropped too. It took me seven hours to download that Paranormal Film last night. I was cut off so many times.

I can't believe what fantastic internet some of you guys have, how very lucky you are. I have been trying to download the new Windows 7 Links and so far it has taken me nearly 12 hours and I am only about 60% done. One Mod from another forum that helps sometimes volunteered to download for me. He has 5MB!!!!!!!!!!! Oh man that hurts.

You folks with high speed are still doing good compared to dialup, my only cost effective option. I envy your slowest speeds. This is a GOOD day.



Downloading Win7 or even updating online is not an option. Dowloading movies is like science fiction to me since an 800mb file would take over 40 hours. Red Box rentals is only 15 minutes away.

One thing I find interesting about these tests is some of the stats. For example, the distance show is for only 100 miles. I live over 1,300 miles from Atlanta. I also do not use AT&T. My ISP is on the west coast, not the east coast. Of course, the server could be anywhere. The last time I did this test, it showed the ISP location as Missouri, about 400 miles away.
