I think I have the worst internet in the world

It's gone out 3 times in the last 1 hour and 30 minutes. That's 1 outage for every 30 minutes.

Re: I think I have the worst internet in the world

This is the end of the 10th time in the last 3 and a half hours, which is once every 21 minutes.

Re: I think I have the worst internet in the world

Try...

1. Calling up your isp to see what's wrong
2. It might be your bandwith. Wait until the end of the month then download the "think broadband meter". Shows you how much internet you are doing (if you trust me, you trust it right?)
3. Panic

You can try the speed test too: http://www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk/speedtest. You want the download speed. The higher, the better.

Or, if using a Windows PC, just mouse over the little monitor (screen) icon in the bottom right corner. Mine says 24.0 Mbps at the moment.

Re: I think I have the worst internet in the world

Something went wrong on this one with a Chinese server.

Also, does it look like it says "Mediacorn" instead of "Mediacom"?
