 |
|
Has anyone (everyone?) else's internet slowed to a crawl since last night. I am just wondering if I should call in this problem or if it is just from everyone streaming tsunami videos.
Yes, I realize that my slow internet is not the biggest problem caused by this disastrous earthquake. I am not making any comparison like that.
I am just taking some internet classes from America, and can't stream the lectures, and downloading files is taking about 10X longer. Just wondering... |

upon returning home however, I couldn't even open my email the lag was so bad.

Mine is fine with some websites, but terrible with others. BBC and Youtube are barely working at all.
Could a trans-Pacific cable have been broken? |

I've used both Youtube and BBC yesterday and today. No problems whatsoever. |

| I had real problems starting last night at home. This morning was better but still not up to what it normally is. At work today everything is fine. I think it is more of a building usage / capacity thing than anything else. Maybe there are just more people online trying to stream videos and that causes bottlenecks in certain places. |

| I also noticed a significant drop in speed yesterday evening. I thought it was a problem related to the office server but it was the same at home and on a friend's iphone. The problem seems to be intermittent. It's generally slow on all sites, but sometimes some sites (seems like Google related sites in particular) slow down to a standstill then pick up again after a bit and go back to semi-slow. |

BBC is a bit better. Almost normal..........Youtube is still unusable for me. |

| I'm in America and I'm trying to access a friend's Cyworld site, but it is slow as balls. Like dial-up slow. Slower than dial-up slow. Pages fail to load half-the time. |
