Explains a lot doesn't it?

I thought it was just because of the crap weather we where having screwing with my internet, but the weather is much better, the winds are back to normal, and yet the highest I've had it today was 16 kbps. And right now it's a whole freaking 7 and it refuses to go any higher. I suppose the modem or the computer could be dieing, having the breaker trip twice while the machine was on couldn't have been good for things. I know I was having trouble with the usb ports earlier... Not my fault the breakers tripped; Roomie had the heater plugged in, and while it was fine last year, something seems to be drawing more power this year resulting in the draw tripping things. Ok, maybe my fault as both times it happened I was the only one here, though the first time I have no idea why. Second was I was trying to vacuum while plugged into a socket I thought was on a different circuit. There are sites I want to hit like Deviant Art (Seven freaking hundred deviations, I to have to use the Nuke option), and the new Crystal hall forum, but the net is to damn slow. I can't live with this crap, it's worse then having no net. I wish Roomie would check her damn credit card bill/checking (I forget which she has it set to auto pay from) to see how much Windstream is charging us for this pittance, and then compare how much they're charging us to what Verizon or what ever is offering. <_< Actually now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure the bare bones Verizon high speed is cheaper then what I think we'd be paying for high speed net from Windstream if we where "in the coverage area". Yes, i know, I should stop complaining, find a new job to contribute to paying for something better. I'm in a grumpy mood after a crap weather weekend, having a Walmart Greeter think I was trying to steal the new radio/cd player I had just payed for, having the bag rip on me while I was trying to find the receipt, with a crappy net surfing which is interrupted by phantom phone calls as a cherry on top. |

Windstream? I pay a bit for the net/cable here from Comcast and it's not been trouble... you'd probably be better off with Verizon. My net runs about $50/month, I can't check Windstream's out though, wanting an address and very likely not in my area. @.@ Defo poke the roomie. |

I definitely feel your pain here. I'm betting your net speed is likely a combination of things, but I'm not an expert. |

Kiti, Windstream is crap, and Roomie knows it. You do a search for complaints and you get a shit ton of them. They bought out a local company that had been providing out net quite well, and there was a very noticeable drop in quality after that. |

Less grumpy today. Net isn't much better, maxing out at about 13-14 kbps though it's averaging slower. Phone calls sound like the person is talking while crumpling wax paper so... yeah. Managed to nuke a good number of deviations today on DA which made me happy. Then I went to check Crystal hall and learned some ass clown hacked it while the security was low. |
