What the crap?!?! (notice the exaggerated punctuation. That means business) I hate my freaking internet. After a while almost every single day the internet drops everywhere with the exception of the guitartricks. I'd be more pissed if it took this site with it, but I don't get it. Out of nowhere it just stops working everywhere else. I can't check my email or check out any of the stupid videos that anyone posts without rebooting. This is lame.

My internet sucks as well. It's dial-up, and every time I'm on it, this mystery program called 'Sacc' apparently 'does not respond.' I don't even know what it is, but it 'does not respond' around 8 times a night. Sometimes it 'does not respond' so fiercely that my computer must be rebooted. I actually look forward to going to school because I know I will be able to check GT unhindered.

I feel for ya, brutha.

Mine's been pretty good lately, but I still have to restart about 10 times a day or my browser slows to a crawl.
For some reason I can't open pages in new windows without slowing everything down.
And Google videos crash my browser every time and only work at half speed.

I don't understand why it would do that, other than is the sites fault. Every now and then it goes slow but not everywhere I go. Mabey you should get someone to check the lines.

I've got cable as well.. every now and then it just absolutely will not load a page... so you wait forever, and then try to just close the damn thing. and a little thing pops up that says "program not responding" so you click the button to end the program, and then the computer thinks for about 5 minutes, and if you're lucky it will have closed the page by then.. if not, then you pretty much gotta reboot. I'd estimate it only happens once a week or so on average, so it's not a big deal.

Yeah, I've got cable too. Supposedly the highest speed available for home use. I don't know what the heck happens. I'll be going along just fine, then I'll try to load a Guitar Tricks page and the spinning beach ball thing just keeps spinning. I can't switch pages or close the page I'm on. Pressing command-period doesn't stop it. So I'm basically stuck waiting 5 minutes while it does whatever it's doing.
Most times I just get impatient and force quit the browser & restart.
