#slow internet

[noxsoulmate]

My brother is currently working on my laptop to see why my internet is so slow 🐌

He tells me it might be because I have too many tabs open 🤔

I don’t know what he’s talking about, it’s only 20+ ao3 fics, 10+ gdocs with wips, and maybe 15 or so research pages - it’s never been so few... 🤷‍♀️

Can consoles and other devices stop putting minimum download speed limiters please? I know why it's there, so if a download falls below that, because it froze or something, it doesn't just stay like that, but if that's the concern, make it so that it cancels when it drops to 0. it's so obvious it wasn't tested anywhere outside of urban America, because as it is now, my normal internet speed as someone in semi-rural Australia is so slow, it triggers those limits all the time and I end up having to restart downloads constantly. And my internet is bad, but what I have now is amazing compared to what it was like when I lived further out of town.

Trying to download large games is a nightmare, it's bad enough that the game I'm trying to download will take 12 hours, I have to constantly watch it because it WILL cancel the download at multiple points. God forbid anyone else in the house does so much as open Tik Tok on the same WiFi network.

Please, I promise Microsoft, my Xbox and PC aren't frozen, I just live somewhere with shit internet lol

So weird to just open up the tumblr app and there are pictures just there without me going to do something else for a half an hour first or anything.

This picture might even post today, we'll see.

Whenever Bill sees KingOfNJ's fics through Stan's eyes he just thinks they have the same taste in fanfiction (disgusting. unthinkable) continued

I'm about to noclip through my walls like Bethesda published me.

You know what’s worse than playing a terrible game? Not even being able to play it because your internet connection is straight out of the Stone Age. That’s right, folks—today’s rant isn’t about some dumpster fire of a game, it’s about the glorious experience of trying to exist in 2024 with the worst internet imaginable.

Let’s be real—I’m not exactly swimming in cash over here. I can barely afford a halfway decent gaming setup, let alone pay for internet that doesn’t cut out every five minutes like it’s powered by a hamster on a wheel. My download speeds are a joke, my ping is through the roof, and let’s not even talk about streaming or downloading anything over 2GB. Oh wait, no—I guess we should talk about it, because it’s basically my life right now.

Imagine this: you finally have a minute to sit down and escape the misery of reality with a little online gaming, and then BAM, your connection decides to die right in the middle of the match. Doesn’t matter if it’s a critical moment or if you’re just wandering around—my Wi-Fi decides to flip me the bird and leave me staring at a "Reconnecting…" screen until I’m booted out. It’s like the universe’s way of telling me, “Hey, Ezekiel, remember when you thought things couldn’t get worse? Surprise!”

But hey, when you’re on the cheapest internet plan because rent exists and food is somehow still a thing I have to pay for, this is what you get. Forget fiber optics, I’m pretty sure I’m running on a system that still uses dial-up somewhere deep down. Lag? Oh, that’s not just a feature of my online gaming experience, that’s basically how I interact with the entire internet. I click a link, and the page loads in about the same time it takes me to question every life choice I’ve made that led me to this moment.

And the best part? My ISP (aka the fine folks responsible for this disaster) loves to send me emails about their “premium” packages. Oh, yeah, because what I really need is more advertising for services I can’t afford. I can’t even afford to upgrade to “standard” speeds without cutting into my grocery budget, but sure, let’s talk about your ultra-fast, platinum-tier plan that costs more than my monthly utilities. Sounds great. Too bad I’ll be reading that email in low-res because even my inbox loads at a snail’s pace.

So, while everyone else is enjoying their seamless gaming experiences, streaming in 4K, and downloading entire games in minutes, I’ll just be here, staring at a frozen screen, watching my ping spike, and remembering that somewhere out there, someone is playing without lag. Must be nice.

Until next time, enjoy your fast internet—because I sure as hell can’t.

Internet is awfully slow these days. I can see why:

The northern lights seems quite active those days (anything like the nortern lights of May 10, visible down to South Italy and even North Africa)

Not Norway but just 35Km from my home. I saw the NL too, that day.

*Ahem*

“MOM! GET OFF THE PHONE! I WANT TO IM MY FRIENDS!”

“You have none.”

“Gee, I wonder whose fault that is with us moving around so much?!”

“WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!”

*Drop mic, tears spilling down my face*

remember when you were 10 and you would hang out with your friends in order to Look At The Computer together like you went to their house and experienced the information superhighway together. and then leave

Alright it's official, digital art ain't for me. I've got the world's slowest internet connection, a cheap art pen from eBay and not one single idea in my head.

I'm out. Peace. Back to writing I go. Hopefully.

The boat has internet, barely.

Luckily the culture at my work isn't video calls, partially because I would hate that so much I'd probably be desperately looking for another job.
