This extremely slow internet connection in my country (I swear, I am not exaggerating) is starting to make me go crazy! I just really hope something can be done with this soon. Then again, better than no connection at all. How's the internet speed in you country?

In this place, our internet speed depends on the kind of network you are using and the location of you are. We also have different ki D's of service, 3g and 2g. 3g is fast while 2g is very slow. But the costs are different though.

Yes, the cost depends on your internet speed. Ours though is the fastest internet plan for one household, and still it sucks sometimes. I am hoping to upgrade it soon because just this month, a better modem was introduced.

I really don't like it when the internet is slow. It can be quite annoying. Hopefully, it picks up.

Yes, I hope it does. Internet has become a significant part of people's lives and internet providers should provide better services. We do pay quite a lot for this, you know.

@JeeyanDee I'm sure you do. We pay a lot as well. If we're going to pay a lot, then we should be getting good service.

@dodo19 Yes we really should. What's worse,we got our connection from the fastest internet provider of my country! This is just plain crazy.

This happens when the climate is not good and when it rains the connection is worst

Well, I am happy for you. Sometimes it's ok here, but there are times it's just so irritating.

@CookieMonster46 I would try to turn the modem off, then turn it back on after a while. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Yeah it really sucks. These internet providers really must give the service that we deserve.

@Yadah04 I hope something is done soon enough, but I'm not having my hopes up on that. With all these problems and controversies surrounding the government, I'm not really sure much attention will be given on that for quite some time.

Mine is 100mbps but there is 200mbps and up to 1gbps but the latter is very expensive.

Ugh. The fastest speed available for one household is 5mbps only. I am hoping to upgrade it soon though because a new modem has been introduced just this month.
