Internet slow although connection's fast? ironclad Send a noteboard - 15/08/2011 11:08:04 AM
Does anyone have a clue why my wireless internet at work could "feel" slow in my browser when trying to open gmail and other sites, although a download I just tried and the connection signal show that internet is supposedly fast?
Work firewall or other security measures should not be the reason, we don't have any. My browser (chrome) is up to date and doesn't give me crap at home, so that can't be it either.
It kinda comes and goes. Same thing happened last Monday, rest of the week was okay. It's just so annoying and random!

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

Depending on the sight you go to, it could be advertisements or just pictures MightyYT - 15/08/2011 05:17:01 PM 351 Views

Could be anything, really, or infinite combinations of anythings Two Wongs - 16/08/2011 10:03:21 AM 417 Views
Could it be a Windows update? ironclad - 16/08/2011 08:39:04 AM 380 Views
could be because it's such a wide shared connection LadyLorraine - 16/08/2011 08:44:48 AM 363 Views
