Slow uploads - something's going on ~

Discussion in 'Software' started by dumb miss teen australia, Oct 3, 2011.

  1. Hi Guys... just a quick one.

    Over the past month, certain sites like facebook and hotmail don't respond or I get messages saying we can't connect right now all the time - or that 'searching' little circle goes round and bloody round :)

    Though sites like google and yours pop up immediately.

    I'm on windows 7, I've run spybot and avg with everything supposedly fine. And my wireless signal is strong. I've uninstalled the wireless and then reinstalled without result.

    Thanks in adavance ~ Teen ~
     
  2. I'm sure it's a hotmail/live issue... it seems to be the major thing that plays up and then slows everything down... but not sure.

    Try connecting via ethernet cable and see if the website is still slow. if it is then you could try rebooting your modem and rebooting computer if that don't solve the problem then it might be the site itself.

    Hope this helps

    When I have had a problem connecting to a site, I would delete my browser cache along with any flash cookies. I would then be able to connect to the site.

    @ teen I've had some issues with Hotmail the last week and timeouts using Chrome. The issue(s) seem to have been resolved, it wasn't my ISP.
