Hi, all This afternoon I was at the St Albans Community Centre downloading some freely available music and other stuff, and I noticed the download speed was at about 56 KB per second, when it usually is faster, usually about 80 KBps and sometimes well into the 100-plus KBps. I shrugged it off as the effects of being on a shared braodband connection.
I come home to my dialup connection, and discover that downloading my email from TelstraClear's Paradise.net.nz is at an all-time slow. At the rate it is downloading my email, the Universe will suffer a heat death long before it reaches a quarter of the way. It appears that the St Albans broadband and my dialup may share the same affliction. Am I the only one? Or is this a universal experience?
