I am not a computer pro, but my personal opinion is that the computer/internet has yet to be perfected.  Some of it is just too hard to comprehend!  Put it in plain language please!  Try asking Yahoo a question and wait and wait to see if you get an answer that is understandable.\nBoo!  Hiss!

Porn sites per minute. What a concept!\nWould you then have to report to the FBI the speed of your server?

After any kind of broadband, dial-up is going to PAINFULLY slow.  Web sites are adding more & more graphics all the time, not to mention the time it takes to load all the adds.  So it will only get worse.

No, but the lack of a similar increase in psychological growth in mankind has caused our technological development to outstrip our maturity as a species.  The sudden increase in information and the resulting challenges to everyone's world views due to access to the web and instant information should be sufficient to give us a chance to catch up a bit.  Then the technology will be much easier to handle and use wisely.

it is not true....\nbecause of Internet, our relationships are growing.\nit has always been a good tool for starting a new friendship!\n\n& yes talking is getting less, but in the hectic scheduled modern world, we prefer an email rather than a phone call or postal letters....\n\nit is just that..... we hav to adapt ourselves...

Maybe it's the weather. I have DSL, and I'm having some problems getting into sites. It's almost like I have dial up again!! UUUGGGGGG! It could also be that since the weather is so bad, there are a lot more people online...Lots of traffic..

Well it does go slow due to users on the ISP and depends on the distance from the Line Exchange. Also it depends of what broadband company your using. If you've using BT and have the Home Hub just unplug it and plug it back in and it normally speeds it up.

it depends on what kind of ISP you have. I have ITLnet, and it runs really slow also. If you have DSL or wireless or satellite then you need to check with ur ISP to see what's going on. If you have any other ISP then those three that i gave you, then your web pages are going to run slow.

To the best of my knowledge, there's no theoretical bottom limit to the speed of an internet connection, although individual programs may give up after a period of time, and assume that the message they were trying to send has been lost in transit.\n\nTo illustrate this, I've linked the (as far as I know, unused) proposal for transmitting IP packets (one of the fundamental units of data on the internet) via trained pigeons.\n\nWhile the attached proposal is certainly geek-humor, I hope it illustrates my point - as slow as your net is, it could always get even slower.
