Me too. But what really gets me about the slow Internet is that I allow it to happen---that the computer's just doing something I accidentally made it think it always has to do when I only wanted it to do that 'something' THAT ONE TIME! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!

Good afternoon riyauro,
I understand that. I had an internet connection that would take forever just to post when I have typed. And then if I made typos then it was even worse. But right now I have the all time annoyance! I dont have internet AT ALL!!! It really has caused issues. Its been off for 2 days now and I have no idea when it will be back on....

Slow internet can be irritating, particularly if you are doing something important. When it happens, there is not much you can do about it.

I think there are some things one can do : one can set the browser to ignore heavy content but text. One can just call a friend and take the needed material from the internet or go to the local library to use the internet there and pay for it.
When I was in college , I could stay at the college and do the work on the computers there if I needed. The college staff knows some students have no internet so the college has a laboratory of many computers with internet.

Hi ruyauro...
I think we are on the same side. I hate it too. Internet never really fast here but there are few provider who claim they had fast connection really slow, its really takes times just to open mylot.
Really annoying for someone who really depend on internet to do their job like me. Now I move to differed internet service provider who not even made any commercial but I think its much faster than the old one. Even if compared to internet in others country its like snail but I can log on here smoothly.

hi friend and to answer you, I have been thru the same thing about 2 weeks ago. Not anymore but when i used to go online and post to someone's discussion, my internet would take f.o.r.e.v.e.r! to load up and then it would not work after that!! I got soooo sick and fed up with my internet servise provider that i went over there and personally spoke to someone with power and they fixed it but it took a long time. Im just a patient person so my advise to you is to be patient and hang in there. or call ur internet servise ppl and tell them if they don't fix it and soon, u will not pay the next bill cycle or whatever.
I do suppose it matters a lot where u live to....
good luck!

In my case, i'm not only irritated but very irritated.It hinders me to do my work well and it really ruins my focus and interest especially if you already have some ideas in your mind.Then suddenly your connection is abruptly gone.Sometimes I really called customers service but the response is also slow like their connection.(lol.....

Hi,
As compared to the earlier times, the net so fats. If you are using a slow-speed plan, I think you may face this issue. Please switch-over to a fast (speedy) plan which ever is available. You may have to pay little more on it, but won't get irritated for waiting & waiting to get to open the sites...

Well, my answer to your question: Are you nervous when the internet goes slow: YES, it irritates me a lot!
Fortunately, this, at least in my case happens very rarely. This is the fact that I keep in my house fast digital connection via optical fiber.
But when I am elsewhere, and I carry the netbook below, I have no other way to browse the web, through an internet-key.
Normally I can take line in HSDPA, but sometimes, unfortunately I have to go in EDGE, thus a very slow rate.
I understand perfectly, it's very frustrating!

no I am not nervous but I am wasting lot of time waiting for the pages to load. I should have fast net because I have 5GB unlimited plan and we don't do any downloading or watch youtube videos. That is why I am irritated. If I had slow net connected then would not be whining, my whining is genuine. thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day.

Hi friend, sad to hear about this, surely we all will get irritation if our internet is working slow, as we have lot of work and it is really hard to do our work properly using the slow connection. Hope your problem will be solved soon and you will enjoy a speed internet

I think everyone does. We have HughesNet, which is the definition of slow internet. I used to have AT&T DSL that was way faster but since moving can't get that. I have truly missed it. Every day it seems there is a time where this internet will not load.

yeah that must be irritating. I have no option as well. I have flash net and the problem is that not all companies internet gets signal here on the island and that is the problem. Even the mobile fone has no signal inside the house. when I someone call or we have to make a call, we go on the road. that really sucks. thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day.

what is more annoying on slow internet is when you are watching a video it always goes off and on which is so annoying. this happened to me recently when i was watching episode seven of suits which really annoyed me because i reloaded it several times

Having slow internet annoys me. When I am at an internet cafe and rushing something and the internet is slow, I become impatient. It's like I'm just wasting my money. I'm paying per hour but it's so slow so what can I do if it's slow. I can't finish my task. So nowadays, we want faster internet connection. So that we can achieve something.

Hi, I am also experiencing slow internet connection today due to the heavy rain this past few days. Like you, it is really irritating when you can't even load the page and I also experiencing problems with my post because when I tried to post them, my page would display gateway timeout and when I tried to refresh it, I found out that my post was doubled. Since our work was suspended today, I thought to maximize my time in using mylot but because of the slow internet connection, I am also having problems as yours. I think that it is normal to feel that way because it is really annoying to wait especially if you are already too excited to write and post discussions.

Oh yes! Especially when I should have a faster loading and surfing internet access because of the deal that I signed up with my service provider, plus I am always updated with my payments. I at least expect good service from them. Sometimes I even have 2-3 days down time because I have no internet at all. These companies wouldn't even reimburse me nor credit my bill for the days that I have no service.

Even internet connection here is bad. My bills are always paid on time. The bill is always due on 27th of every month and the updates are on the following month on 9th. this is ridiculous. I have a 5GB unlimited plan but the companies system sucks. there are many companies of internet but in my house there is no signal for others. Good at least this is working. thanks for sharing. have a wonderful day ahead.

Indeed I do! However, as bad as slow Internet is, I especially dislike it when my Internet shuts down completely. The most frustrating part about it is that I do not know if I did anything to cause it (I don't think I do, but who knows?).
However, I do know that as slow as my Internet is at times, I'm still better off than those who have dial-up. In fact, I should consider myself fortunate to be able to access the Internet, as that is a luxury that many people in the world do not have. It's just hard to think in those terms when you just want to do something online without having to wait ages.

yeah it is true too. some people don't have internet, at least we have. I know 2years back I was yearning to have internet at home. that time I did not have the laptop. I used to go miserable because every time had to go the net cafe to do anything. I glad we have net access at least. good thought. have a wonderful day.
