i am suffering now from snail slow internet.i think it could be my router. there is a light not lit that should be. my status is dead in the water. my lightning fast internet is not as shaw promises it to be. never has been but at the moment i am surfing on the good graces of someone else who doesn't have the good sense to password protect their network. thank god for them. even with this alternative i watch my mac's little daisy spin round and round without the hint as to what the progress might be, if any. i am reminded of the bad old days of dial up, when i could go and attend to tasks around the house while my computer hooked itself to the www. i don't have much of a fondness for those days then and even less now that i am a somewhat less patient person. my expectations are higher. no amount of deep breathing will help me rationalize it away. i gotta have my internet and i gotta have it now.
....done a little test. hooked the ethernet cord right into the computer. this simple test has determined that the router is screwed. i can't even remember when i bought it so it is probably about time it was updated. in terms of what is available at the lowest end of the spectrum these days, it is a complete relic, but i didn't feel the need to do anything about it until the inevitable occurred. and now it has.
