ISP Problems

Submitted by PhoeniX on Tue, 2008-09-30 16:05

My computer has been very lagged these last couple of weeks. I have to "reload current page" quite often when visiting any forums.

Now just today I keep getting booted from the internet because of lost connections. Anyone else experiencing similar problems?

(And I just started a new 7 day free trial of Tabula Rasa this weekend with the better graphics, etc. on this second work computer) Sad

I've been getting some slow reactions from SiegeTheDay for a while (a month or two...) but I think that's host issues, not my ISP (connections to other sites are fine).

If your ISP is giving you problems, call them and let them know. You (or your employer) is paying for a service, and if it's not working properly then complaining is often the best way to work towards a resolution.

I called AT&T Yahoo last night and they ran a diagnostics on the line. They had recently upgraded our service but we are too far away from the satellite and it was causing sporadic contact. They are restoring us to the prior service today.

I was hoping this was ISP and not another problem with AntiVirus 2009. FireFox was wanting to install upgrades every day for the last week. Smile

Hope that fixes the problem. Smile
