That's how fast this site has been running for me.

Anyone else having this problem?

Same O, but I've got Comcast "Maintaining" some equipment. Second day without TV, and this site is next to impossible to get on. And LOL, Comcast is slow to contact also.

I have Comcast also, and sometimes have problems, but this is the only site that is running slow.
 
What does a parking lot full of Yugos and 200 government employees have in common?











About half of them work. :lamo

I had a co-worker who had one. I was giving him a bad time about the passenger mirror being gone when he told me it just fell off in his driveway. He then kicked the driver's door and the driver's side mirror fell off. i was literally on my knees from laughing so hard.

It was called Yugo because, when it broke down, driver and passenger would argue about who went for help..."You go. No, you go!" :mrgreen:
 
PITTSBURGH — A Cadillac dealer here, giving a new twist to the sales pitch ``buy one, get one free,`` for a week now has been offering a free 1986 Yugo GV to consumers buying a ``selected`` Cadillac.

Through the promotion, Noce Cadillac has sold 22 Cadillacs, but no one has yet taken home a Yugo. Under the offer, the buyer can opt for a Yugo or a further discount off the Cadillac price.

They had four. This one is misfiring.

The site seems to have sped up some. What happens is, I go to a new page, go to post a reply, whatever, and the little wait wheel never quits spinning. Eventually, it may time out and tell me that the site can't be reached, which I know is not true. If I click the back arrow, then come back and try again, it generally works.

I have no idea what is happening. It only happens on this forum, happens on both my computers, so it's not my computer. I wonder if I have something weird in my settings on this forum or something.

Anyway, it seems to have stopped for now.

Yes I was just teasing about yugos meaning I thought they ran on a two stroke engine.

This sites speed is always hit n miss for me and sometimes I know it's not an ISP issue. I chalk it up to being a popular site that gets heavy traffic at times and figure the site is close to its bandwidth limits.

Yep- I think you are correct- only way to get more bandwidth is for those that can to pony up, and build a reserve fund. I would say 6 - 9 months reserve is what is needed over and above monthly costs. That reserve, when exceeding the 6-9 months could be used for bandwidth and upgrades which some want.
