High Speed DSl & slow myLot

My wireless DSL modem - I have Qwest service which has been very reliable for me all these years.

Years ago I switched to DSL for the high speeds and loading of things and downlaod and uploadi speeds. Well it works great. ON OTHER SITES! Now on myLot, the pages still load super slow as if I still had dial up service. Photos load quickly though when I upload them to my page and discussions. FaceBook and other huge sites work quickly. But for some reason myLot ALWAYS loads slow after doing anything except loading photos etc. I have said for many years that myLot needs a different/faster server for their site. Do you have slow loading pages here on the lot? HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

hi Grandpa Bob I have jackrabbit express cable from t me warner at 41.99 per month and its zipping through all the other sites but here on mylot it takes minutes not seconds of time to load. I goose mylot admins by hitting contact and complaining about how slow it is and ask if they are doing this deliberately to save having to pay so much money to us as we cannot do much when we sit and wait minutes to load a page and often it takes our responses and goes off into never never land with them. then for awhile mylot really does speed up, but it does not last and I really now am wondering if they do this to cut down on hom much we can earn lol lol.

You and I seem to have overly suspicious minds. It may be some kind of an extra layer of security, but I did post the same speculation about the slowdowns on earning.

Well it seems it's definetly the server and not the ISP's slowing the site down. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

You are right. MyLot loads pretty slowly, but some of my other earning and social sites do as well. I do not, or have not, put up many pictures. That is something I need to do. I was telling a friend last night that she needs to load pictures to the site as well.

Yes....at times it is very slow loading...and then there are the times when you go to post and Internet explorer can't locate the page or it's unavailable! That is very frustrating!

I have fiber optic and everything is fast except myLot! It seems to take forever once you hit submit on a reply and about 10% of the time you'll get an error message which means you lost your reply. I usually copy/paste before I hit submit so I don't lose anything! I agree, they need a better server. Maybe they'll remedy that when their contract runs out with the one they have, if that's how it works.

Maybe they are slow to slow down our earnings. I am kidding of course. You are correct, almost every aspect here is slow. I have a problem with tags as well.

Gerty, maybe you are correct though. HAHAHA! I learned long ago to copy paste due to losing them in cyberspace due to the lots slowness. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

I have Comcast and pretty expensive but it is the only service my building accepts I am glad also as it is speedier than Gonzalez. But here in myLot is like a turtle but only during times of the day. I have noticed that when the server resets and again when the earnings are updated. I too believe it is a server issue but apparently myLot is either okay with it or maybe it is too costly.

I also Have Comcast (I pay $110) For everything. but the internet is very fast very fast and I get on my laptop and iPad (well my Friend sat on my iPad and now its Gone RIP) When I did have it it work fine on every thing but mylot always had slow moments even on the best computer. But I think sometimes the computer can be the issue as well. Mylot has been here for awhile and I think they should up grade it to be more simple easy and fun. / Understanding for the new people because when I first sign up the layout was different but after the new interface came it was made to be easier but it took sometime to get use to it. In the end im happy mylot is still up and alive Im surprise we dont have a increase in users by now haha

Hi paout, Yes I pay a great deal monthly simply for the internet with Comcast, and like you my service is pretty fast for which I can vouch for that. The slow periods only at times only happens when I am here in fact I am on another site that most complain yet I have no issues. I tested one time trying to map out a plan as to when it is best and I find here that 8am - 11 am myLot time which is the same as mine is mostly when the slow times occur. As currently now it 7pm and myLot is runny pretty fast.

I have cable and hardly ever have trouble with pages loading except here in myLot. I think I'd do more here if it was faster. As tired as my old brain is sometimes, by the time I get to where I can post, I forget what I was going to say.

I only find mylot slow when i am tagging or photo loading otherwise mylot is pretty fast for me its sother sites that make it slow for me.

I'm not sure what is considered slow, but it seems like I wait a long time between finishing a response and the tags page and then again for it to go back to the discussion. And, we have cable!!! I am sure some of it is the age of the computer being used combined with the amount of graphics being loaded combined with how many users are on at the same time. Beyond that, I have no idea.

Hi. Grandpa Bob! Yes, I have noticed this too. It can be like this at times. Sometimes, I am thinking that it is my computer's connection that is doing this, but it is not. When we had the Roadrunner services, it would go by faster. But now, it can be in and out sometimes. I hope that you will be able to get a faster connection very soon.

I agree with you my Internet speed is very fast just my lot sometimes have slow moments and e page takes it's sweet time I usually run into this problem when I post something like a responses or discussion sometimes I even get an error message but hey nothing i can do haha. Maybe it is the sever if it is then a new interface for the site will be very nice like they did in the past about 2 years ago lolbor less I'm not sure but they did some good changes and some more changes will be nice haha . But i don't know what it is sometimes the pages load up a little too slow and take just a little to long it gets annoying after awhile. I do recommend that people that can copy and paste to copy and paste your post just to be safe sometimes because it can to take to longand sometimes you have to refresh the page and if not if it takes way to long you post was never post if you get a error message on your browser. But double check to make sure it post just invade because if you popst the same ting more then once i think my lot deletes both haha. Happy posting to you too :)

I too do like you and copy paste most times but it is when I forget that the server times out.

Hmmm, I didn't experience such slow speed from AT&T DSL service, and also I didn't experience such slow speed from Clear now, the ISP I am having now. Maybe it was the problem with your DSL provider, or whether the moment you log into mylot is slower. I hope that you speed will be improved.

speed - for the internet connection in mylot
Hello Grandpa Bob, It's way different in my case, i decided to downgrade my speed just to keep paying it a month. but the loading for mylot is not different compare before. but i am getting used to it though. slow loading page is something i had experience already. But with so many users every day i think its logical to get used to it. i think mylot needs to upgrade their servers instead in my opinion. have a nice day.

I don't know why : when I test the connection, the results are good -- I have fiber optic, but I use for myLot my netbook+Wifi, more slow than my desktop connection -- but the server is often slow. I think that I have more errors when posting a response than last year, so I am doing like many old users : copy/paste is great .
