My internet is slow. We probably used our monthly usage, but it was fine until my sister switched if off last night (when I was in the middle of something!). Now I only get fast internet back for 1 day before school starts.



So I may not be on Off Topix as much, because I can really only have 2 tabs open at any one time.
 
It seems a bit better now, but maybe I've just gotten used to it.



Oh yeah, last night it took me 45 minutes to download a 6MB backup of my website

That sucks. We dont have any caps here so its the same speed all the time.

I had cable internet (6 mbps) but recently downgraded to DSL (768k). Its more than 5 times slower but Ive adapted to the crappyness of it. Saving quite a bit of money this way.
 
Hate it when that happens. My computer has been slow recently too. Hope you get it sorted.
 
Ours is 400MB per day at full speed download / 128Kbps upload.



If we exceed our daily limit, we get slowed to dial-up speed until 2AM the next day.
 
I hate getting capped internet, Sam, may I ask which ISP you are with cause I know Telstra (bigpond) actually resets your usage like a day early

E-Wire.



I'm going to do a full backup of my website tomorrow, which will take at least 3 hours. It seems to have gotten a tiny bit better - either that or I have gotten used to it more. Whatever the case, it's making it really hard for me to do anything on my website, but I managed to take the time to secure my blog (and wait for the pages to load).
 
Mine was being a pain the last few days. It has reset now, so it's much faster, it was strange because i wasn't even capped. Damn Australian service providers.
