I don't know. My computer's jammed of a hacker and its bugs. (don't worry, I use a different computer for this forum now.)

This ones faster. Probably not global.

It depends on your service and bandwidth from your provider.

But also at times because they are one network (whoever your provider is), if alot of their packets are used with other users, your ping rate etc will be slower.

Depends whats going on.

Usually 25/25 will give you decent bandwidth, sometimes 15/25 but you will get slow times.

Hope this helps.

It has improved quite a bit, its a little slow and sometimes dosent connect in the afternoons but from what I understand its overloaded from banks sending their daily stuff, kids in the internet stores, cell phones that sort of thing. There is only one internet and cell phone service in Mexico and it gets jammed up once in a while but it is working a lot better than a couple weeks ago.

Yes, if off one shared T series line, they are hogging the bandwidth.

The internet doesn't crash and doesn't get overloaded. But any given ISP can.

At least in the states most regions are covered only by a couple major ISPs because the broadband providers are in cahoots with each other and divide up the market so they don't have to compete. So if one's own provider is having trouble providing a reliable internet connection, it would be expected that most of one's neighbors would also be having trouble since they would have the same provider.

The internet service here never was perfect, but it has improved over the last year or so. A couple years ago it would take 15 or 20 minutes to connect and in the afternoons from 12 to 1 or so and from 4 until about 7 you might as well forget it you usually couldnt connect at all. even now sometimes you cant connect from 4 until about 6. I think Telcel needs some competition, maybe things would be better.

Check your ISP settings and restore your internet connection manually.

It works pretty good now. They got another internet service here and gave Telcel a little competition so its improved a lot.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure it's my computer more than anything. I've got a new one on order....Bighuey, I haven't given up on the attachment thing, just put it on hold until I get rid of this pile of crap....

Try kicking it and calling it some filthy foul names. That works.
