Subject: BS: Declining Internet performance? From: Donuel Date: 05 Apr 20 - 09:23 AM Have you noticed? Congestion of the internet is of course to blame. There are means to do your part like turning off video when possible. Europe has older systems so video like Netflix is downgraded to relieve the digital stress. Barring internet attacks it will return to normal someday. Perhaps gardening will be a good on line alternative. |
Subject: RE: BS: Declining Internet performance. From: Bonzo3legs Date: 05 Apr 20 - 01:10 PM We have a BT fibre connection, and have noticed no difference at all, but then we don't watch anything online. I download first then watch on TV from memory stick! |
Subject: RE: BS: Declining Internet performance. From: Stilly River Sage Date: 05 Apr 20 - 01:12 PM It is. Gardening is becoming quite the stay-at-home remedy to cabin fever (if it ever decides to be spring-like here in Texas I'll be out in the garden again). This is my regular spring-time activity, but a lot of people are starting for the first time, or starting-over after a long absence from the green thumb arts. |

Subject: RE: BS: Declining Internet performance. From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 07 Apr 20 - 01:33 AM I remember Y2K - I was a little worker bee in one of the smaller federal govt agencies & the Admin of our Finance system became a national expert & was poached by Big Business! |
Subject: RE: BS: Declining Internet performance. From: Mr Red Date: 07 Apr 20 - 03:49 AM Definitely Fakebook is slowing. If you have a parasitic connection (aka notso HotSpot) it is all the more noticeable because the owner of the router may be watching TV via. As a result all the JavaScript modules that Fakebook invokes may not arrive in a timely fashion so the dependant ones timeout. I did try counting the modules once, and on Fakebook without any "apps" (aka snoops) - I gave up at 100, about halfway. I kid you not, no surprise how Cambridge Analytica scraped data, not to mention the dozens of coordinated inauthentics in St Petersberg who are watching you. |
Subject: RE: BS: Declining Internet performance. From: DaveRo Date: 07 Apr 20 - 04:13 AM I used to write COBOL back in the 70s. We (not me personally) were still writing it in the late 90s for a major UK bank. It's simple - anybody could turn their hand to maintaining it if the money was good. (Now MUMPS - that does require a lifetime of experience!) Loudon Wainwright wrote a song about Y2K: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WY9kUm6TYM |
