Hi.

Same here in Minnesota, USA. It took 20 counting one-one-thousand, two-one-thousand, ... just to bring up this thread.

I test my 'net connection speed every day: 40 Mbps, with slight variations, none of which have been significant in the past month or so (when they are, I reboot the DSL modem to force a new server at the ISP).

I usually use Mozilla Firefox 52.3.0, on this box:
Quote:
CPU~Quad core AMD FX-6350 Six-Core (-MCP-) speed~3900 MHz (max) Kernel~3.16.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Up~3 days Mem~3692.9/19649.5MB HDD~107.4GB(33.1% used) Procs~241 Client~Shell inxi~2.3.0
A Mac mini, Mozilla Firefox 55.0.3:
Code:
OS, ker|rel, machine: Apple/BSD, Darwin 16.7.0, x86_64
Distribution        : macOS 10.12.6 (16G29), Sierra

is also slow.

For site comparison, LQ responds almost instantly, as does stackexchange.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl
