User blog:Zabuza825/Notice: my internet's gone to hell

Alright people, I'll tell you right now that you aren't going to see me on as much as I used to (not that I was too active to begin with, but I at least made a point of visiting every so often).

Unfortunately, over the past week my internet seems to have crapped itself out. It's unbarably slow. If you want to get a feel of how slow it is, just get a load of this.

The only resolution that I seem to be able to load any YouTube video at is 144p (or, as I like to call it, UNACCEPTABLE).

It takes a while to load any and all webpage. This includes even basic ones, such as Google.

I can't even test how slow my internet connection is because the connection is so slow the speed test I use (testmy.net) just doesn't work properly.

Hell, I've even been having problems properly loading the chat.

Now I know there's a lot I want to do on this site, but with internet this shit I can't really do much.

Some of you might know that I can tether my PC to my iPhone and get faster internet that way (yes, a 4G connection with only 1-2 bars is still faster than my current home internet).

Unfortunately, I just got a text message from AT&T. Apparently I'm not the only person in my family who had that idea and the other members of my family have been tethering their PC's to their smartphones. As a result we are already past 75% of our data limit - and that is only a little less than a week into our month long cycle. As such we need to cut down on our data usage lest we want to get charged by AT&T for additional data (something we can't afford to do as we're tight on cash as it is). That means I can't tether my PC to my phone.

Until this gets sorted out I can't do much on the internet - at least not while I'm at home. When I'm at school I have an internet connection about 100x faster than my home one (it used to be the reverse) so I may drop on while I'm at school. Sadly, while I'm at school I'm also with my friends - and none of them are of the RP'ing type - so I won't be doing much on here while I'm at school.

So don't expect me to be on much until this gets sorted out.

Side note - don't worry, I haven't forgotten about my other commitments. I'm still looking for songs for my Engaku thing so please don't think that's gone away.
