Does the internet going slow deter you from writing here at mylot?

Yeah in the past, that really affected me. it gets so boring waiting for the pages to load. but then i found other things to do, like posting in other forums and visiting my blog. when i come back, the page has done loading and i would post. at least i don't have to wait for so long doing nothing. that is what i do. good day and happy posting here at mylot!

Snap!! The last few days mine has been a nightmare too, it is on go slow for some reason, we have unlimited broadband so it cannot be that. Personally I think that I need to clear the history and all the junk that is stored on it, but if I do that then I lose all my passwords that are stored in and I do not know if I have written them all down!! Sometimes it puts me off although I tend to just sit here and shout at the computer and tell it to get a move on!!

At times, mylot becomes very slow and it takes considerable time to upload a page, which frustrates me too. My g-mail also simultaneously go slow on some occasions, which makes me more irritated. I work through G-mail and when both mylot and G-mail slow down, I just feel very bad. But what to do.......we will have to bear with it, I suppose........LOL!

I have always found mylot to be very very slow, but ever other site quick. I dont know why, but i think it is either something to do with my isp, or the actualy mylot website :/ Chris

I am suffering with the Internet right now. Our dorm (4 people) use one ADSL account. It works quite perfectly at the beginning. But I don't know what's wrong this semester, the speed of the whole network is extremely slow. It even breaks from time to time. Tonight, I can hardly use mylot. It really sucks.

Yea,it would really make anyone frustrated who has slow internet connection at the moment. And by the way,is all sites slower?Or is it only Mylot? I some times experience this problem.All the other sites will be going good,but only mylot will be very slow. During those times,I sign out of Mylot,and do some other work and come back to mylot after a few hours.Some times,the mylot servers are very slow on rare occasions. Cheers! Have a great day Happy mylotting and happy earnings.

No, it can be very annoying but does not affect my posting at Mylot. If the connection is slow then I usually type the responses into Microsoft Word and copy them into Mylot. It can still be irritating waiting for the page to turn, but it is not a major problem.

if it's one of those days where it's as slow as molasses,yes it does for me.once in awhile the page times out repeatedly while i'm waiting for the reply to go through,and promptly dumps what i just wrote. i'll usually sign out and come back later when it's not as bad. i just have no patience for that when it's constantly doing it.

I'm the same exact way. I expect my computers to run fast and to their highest speed all the time. I understand there are many factors that affect how fast our computers run, but in my opinion there's no excuse! I have the same kind of Internet connection you do at home. Wireless broadband is amazing, and I'm rarely disappointed in it. Here at work, I have some high-speed connection that's on the network, whatever they happen to use. (All I know is that it has to be fast at work so we can get things done in a timely manner.) A slow Internet connection really does disappoint me when it comes to myLot because, although I can type fast, my posts here are only as fast as my Internet connection! I have a new computer at home, so I know there's something wrong with the Internet when it goes slow because my computer isn't ever the problem! I love getting all of my things done on my computers in a timely manner. I absolutely hate being held up because something isn't working properly as it should. I guess it's kind of like fast food. You expect to have somewhat good service, but more than that you want your food prepared fast. If it isn't out and ready by a certain point, you already know there's something wrong because that's not the way it should go. Yes, Internet speed affects a lot of things for me, probably even more than I realize! I'm glad you brought up this topic because I feel very much dependent on my Internet. Thanks and great post!

Oh I thought it was just me who had an unreliable internet connection. I didn't realise the problem was so common! So thanks for posting this discussion. I know now that I am not alone. The answer is yes it does sometimes deter me from writing more at myLot, on days when my connection is not up to speed. If it is really bad and keeps disconnecting I will close my laptop and go out, or do some writing offline.

Oh, I absolutely do. Our service is DSL and because of our remote location it can be quite finicky. I do give up when it starts running super slow because it is just too frustrating!

Yes it does hamper my discussions in myLot. I lose the flow of writing and end up tearig my hair. LOL.. It indeed it frustrating! In India, slow internet speed is a common thing and I do not have a broad band connection. Which i why most of my internet time gets wasted.

You are right. I was frustrated with the speed of my internet whole of last week - now it is getting better. Definitely i had to put off my plans to writing in Mylot, due to this. Ironically, i thought of writing, inter alia, a post on this topic, but you have overtaken me!

Yeah I have had that experience too! there are times I feel like posting or responding to a discussion but I find it to be too slow until I give up! I wonder what could be the problem.

You are right, the internet can be so slow sometimes especially if you have a limit on your access. Well unfortunately I don't have high speed connection, but I find that Opera browser has myLot going really fast (faster than Firefox and Internet Explorer), you can give it a try if you would like: www.opera.com I wouldn't give up posting even if your connection is slow, okay?

I can understand how crawling internet speeds can kill one's enthusiasm, and it is not just posting in myLot, but other sites as well downloading images and videos, making bookings, researching for info, etc. I have been quite fortunate with myLot. Most of the time, I get reasonable to good speed when accessing myLot site. Only occasionally it gets a little slower but generally I have no major complaints about slow internet where accessing to myLot is concerned.

before i experience very slow but it was not the internet connection i have. i used broadband also and the speed is fast. it only happen that my page load slowly because of so many files in my computer. what i did now install only the most usable. all file are copied to cd every 15 days, from now on my speed is good.

i have DSL but for some reason mylot runs slow on here for me when i send my post it takes forever to get to the tag or submit page. Then after i try to get off of that page it takes way to long and slows down me posting more each night. But it is fast on any other site. I don't know why because i pay a lot to have fast service and it doesn't help for mylot.

No, I haven't encountered that yet. Internet is good especially when I am in mylot. . I hope it will be okay because if not I would really feel irritated. I am gonna bug the ISP company. lolz.

I often meet with this situation.at the bagging I was really frustrated,and I couldn't post any discussions or responses. now,I have gotten used to it.I fist open some discussions,and then I resort to other web sites I am interested with. when I come back to mylot. the pages have been download entirely. I can easily post or respond. now,I can happily enjoy myself as mylot.
