Hard drive bearings?

I thought of something last night after I went to bed.  Is it possible that your internet connection was having issues?  A lot of times when that happens the browser will get the text for the page but will time out before it can get all of the pictures.

Try going to www.speedtest.net and see how fast your connection is.  I do this any time I suspect my connection is having issues.

The picture (X) issue resolved itself so I'll bet you nailed it. BTW, my speed test showed: Ping 105ms   DLSpeed 1.52 Mbps  ULSpeed 0.26Mbps

Is that Good Medium Bad?  (^^^see my post, previous page^^^)

My connection is not very reliable when it rains, but I can connect through my cell phone as a backup router.

That is pretty bad for 2011.  But it might be the server that speedtest.net picked for you.  They pick the closest one to you geographically, but that usually has very little to do with the speed since there is so much variance between internet connect speeds.  The closest server might have a really slow connection on their end, while a server over in the next state might have a big ol' fat connection.  So try a couple of different ones and take the best one.

I just got 75 ms, 8.99 DL, and 1.40 UL.  My ping is a little high, it should be closer to 50.

Just SW IP. Seems my service has been disrupted several times today, many times yesterday. He put in a service order. As far a speed, the numbers we get off speedtest.com are affected by this problem with connectivity. My test results were way low from the provisionals. They have a percentage of variation, which accounts for things such as high volume traffic at the server. For instance my provisional DL speed is 3.0 but they have a sorta +/- of 30%. Mine came to 1.52 on the speedtest which is way low (50%), but again, is probably due to line problems or something before my modem. I'll talk with the repair guy about changing IP servers on Monday--as you suggested. Thanks.

So in the ping test, the lower the faster? They ping me to, first see if someone is connected, then to time the ms back to them?

I was referring to the server on speedtest.net.  When it first comes up there is a map with a bunch of triangles on it.  Instead of clicking on start test, click a different triangle on the map.

But what you are talking about is likely the problem any way, so carry on.

OOOH. I got ya--    read my addition^^^ about ping tests.

Yes, for ping you want lower numbers.  It is how many milliseconds it takes a data packet to go from one machine to another and back.
