Here in our place, we are too many who uses the internet line. For this reason, there are times, the internet connection sometimes goes slow. And when the internet connection goes slow, different reaction takes place. Somebody will give a shout and say, what happen to the internet. Another one will say, restart the router, maybe, there is something wrong with the line. Then the rest, will just wait and see what will happen after the router has been started. How about at your home, how do you react whenever the internet connection goes slow?

Luckily I never have that problem. We are lucky enough in my area to have fiber optic lines for our internet. We run a high speed cable connection from the modem and a very good wireless router. Our local cable company offers a high speed "turbo" connection with a business account so we went with that. Since I work from my home office online, we went with the business connection. This way if the cable ever goes out due to a storm, we are first on the list to be fixed. Costs a little bit more but the internet is an absolute essential part of everyday life for me. Good topic.

i really dislike a slow internet but after being on all day, my internet at home usually goes fairly slow, so i usually get up and do something in between or read.

that really makes me go crazy sometimes and i often find myself cursing the internet service provider and sometimes i often find myself disconnecting the internet and then i relogin and if it doesn't change for the better then i will would have to call the customer care service of the network service provider.

I can't stand itwhen our connection is slow. Especially when you're trying to do something important. Sometimes when it is slow, we lose the connection and then we have to reset the modem. Then if that doesn't happen i or someone else would think that they network isdown so we'll have to wait for a while. Yesterday we almost had this problem. My oldest sister wanted to use my other sister's fax machine and didn't plug the cord back into the right slot in the modem when she was don't so the internet would'nt come on until we found out what actually was wrong with the modem

I HATE when the internet runs slow. Sometimes it is my computer just lagging due to too many programs running though. When my internet is slow its not usually the whole internet its just like certain sites. Mylot has been like that alot for me lately. As I type it lags and skips letters so I have to type very slow or keep stopping and fixing the mistakes. It drives me nuts.

I do get a little bit impatient when the internet is slow. i will often find myself yelling at the computer to hurry up and connect. when this happens to me, i know it is time for a break. i try to find something else constructive to do. then i return to the computer in a better frame of mind.

Sometimes I react very badly when internet goes slow. Because when I works on internet and then its speed getting slow then I fee very irritated and want to good speed. I think why this situation happens with me. But sometimes I feel irritation. What about you. You also feel irritation or not.

I get really angry! I'm always online and most of my daily activities have something to do with the internet, so when it's slow or when it's out, I get really mad! I call the internet company right away and ask them to fix it! Recently, our internet connection had a lot of problems and it drove me crazy every time I get disconnected so I got a back up internet connection. Since then, even when our main connection gets cut, I don't go ballistic as much anymore XD

I usually complain when the internet goes slow. But only to myself. The funny part is - my husband and his brother also complains. But I sometimes get annoyed on their complaining. They say it loud!They would really find a way and tell you, "Please, do not download something because my game will lag!" - We use a wifi connection here so it really gets slow when someone is downloading or uploading.
