Greetings,
I've been increasingly frustrated with the lack of connection to
the internet that my laptop has been facing.
I am currently using a 8mbps Maxonline connection, with my
computer connected directly to my modem with Mozilla as my main
browser. I use Internet Explorer too and they both are giving me
the same problems.
The problem surfaces itself most frequently at night (quite
possibly because its a high peak hour).
What I experience often:
1) My msn status has a link with the words "Due to a connection
problem, changes that you make might not be applied to other
computers you use"
2) Websites loading up partially, sometimes only the words and
links appear, nothing else. No colors no nothing, just the
words.
3) My browser not loading anything at all. You know how it is
supposed to be like when you've just hit the enter button and
there'd be a progress bar. Well, nothing, and it stops there. So
I'd have to hit the enter/refresh button a few times before I get a
response.
4) My browser stops loading at the 99% mark.
5) Pages like friendster takes forever to load up, sometimes 10
minutes. Pictures just refusing to load.
6) MSN telling me that the messages that I have sent have not
been received by the other party.
7) Even hotmail takes foreveeeeeeer to load
Is there anything I can do? Starhub keeps telling me that I seem
to have a "clear signal" and that there is nothing wrong with my
connection. I think this is them being lazy at helping. That, or
they'd ask me to reconnect everything, same shit stays though.
I'll appreciate any help rendered, and should you need to know
more, please let me know through this thread and I'd be more than
happy to accept any assistance.
Thank you very much in advance :)
