hello again.. Experiencing extremely slow internet today.. No punn-intended..
There was some internet service provider truck out by our drop recently.. was a white van with either HD or DH letters with an image of a laptop next to the letters. My nephew mentioned that they were working on the internet service for his friend a couple houses up the road. Didn't notice what they were doing out there but it seems like after they left my internet was slow.. We also had 2 or three passing thunderstorms with heavy rain at times, enough rain to make the road look like a river up to about an inch from the top of the gutter/curb... I unplugged everything till the thunderstorms passed, then this afternoon/evening plugged everything back in and have very slow internet..
Getting between 1/10th and 1/20th of our normal downloads, high ping etc.. upload seems normal.. I tried 4 power cycles and even a modem reset via the "reset button"
Still getting between 150-350Kb "Kilobits" instead of 150-300KB "Kilobytes" downloads... I'm on the 3Meg/256K plan..
My last speed test results were really slow both ways..
138Kb download and 193Kb upload
