I go from dial up to high speed and the websites take up all the improvement with cookies and banners and popups and ads that stalk me everywhere. It's like I am subsidizing their abuse. The banks, credit card companies, and paperless bill paid vendors all benefit, but I find myself >playing solitaire waiting for a page to load just like the 'good' old days. You don't say what "high speed" service you have and IDK what your definition of "high speed" is, but if you're waiting for pages to load like that sounds like it's not really high speed. I have cable, it's probably ~20MBit/sec. Even on wifi at the other end of the house I get 12 MBits on my phone. That's just the standard offering, they have 50 and 100 if you want to pay extra. No waiting for pages here and I don't think my experience is unusual. If you're on DSL with a long poor quality line, then you could have a connection that's only a few hundred K. Or something is wrong. Just saying..... |
