Title: So slow Internet
Post by: Palustris on June 04, 2009, 03:22:37 PM

Our connection is so appallingly slow at the moment that I cannot open any of the messages posted recently so I am not ignoring folks, just feeling very frustrated. We can barely even manage to read our Emails. It has taken a long time to even post this message.

You have my sympathy Eric. How frustrating that must be for you.
Hope you are enjoying the fine weather! May ease the pain a little  :)

Has the dial-up connection deteriorated over a period Eric?

Not really, it went up and down for a week or so then settled at a slow speed and has since got even worse. AM 338 bytes per second download speed fpr AVG update.

This page doesn't contain any images, so should load fairly quickly.
If not, then the connection really is appalling.
Clicking reply is almost instantaneous for me.

Are you able to view topics with images?
e.g. Our new member Mitch has posted images of raised beds (with a variety of plants including alpines) in his gardens in Alberta
Can you view that topic?
