Bad Broadband


In New Zealand, our broadband internet speed is very slow, and a bit expensive. So at the end of the month, it runs slow - reaalllllly slow. So we might only be able to load one picture of my beautiful face for the next few days. Mum probably spends an hour on the computer each day, and doesn't think she is a super big user, considering some of the young people she knows. Does your bean spend lots of time on their computer?

The rain has set in for us, but it is nice for mum to curl up with her book. It is warmer and we have new spring leaves on some of our plants. Yippee for spring!!

  3. Our human spends too much time on the computer, as far as we're concerned. She had old-fashioned dial-up via the phone line for years, because she could dial in free to campus, but last year she gave up and went back to cable internet (she had high speed when with her ex). Her service is pretty much unlimited--4 or so Gigs of upload/download per month, for a flat fee. Same speed.

  5. My bean spends enough time with assisting me on my blog..her TWO blogs plus attending to comments on her Flickr account. She needs to take a rest (except from helping ME!)

  6. Yes, the M spends way too much time on the puter. You might even say she's addicted to it! Well, if your broadband not working right, you can't work right either. We'll be happy to hear & see you whenever we can. purrs

  9. Mom lives on the computer. She's got it bad. We don't have limits on our usage, but we only have a medium speed DSL because they are cheap.

    We know we are spoiled not to have to pay by the minute, or the gigabyte or anything.

  10. Our mum is on the computer a lot too, but we do not have the same broadband restrictions in Canada. Mum says that is likely because we are not an island. We are glad, because we like our internets!

  13. My mom spends hours and hours surfing the Internets! But when she goes to try to put pictures of me or any of us cats and dogs on my blog the Internet slows down to a snails pace! Today Firefox went down 3 times while she was working on my blog!!

  14. Mum spends lots of time on the puter, but she gets a deal on internet access. Special price negotiated through work. Actually her old work. We use as much as we want, pretty speedy.

  15. Our #1 spends a lot of time on the Internet and we have just replaced our ADSL modem after having a lot of connectivity problems. There is enough comfortable seating so that we can all hang out with her when she's there for hours, working.
