hard8 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Sense Saturday my ability to connect to the Internet has been painfully slow, some sites taken 15 minutes or longer to load and even timing out. I'm on a smartphone and I'm supposed to have unlimited data and Internet with Windmoble, are they throttling my Internet? A friend of mine say's this weekends solar flares or Aurora boralis over Ontario Canada is to blame for my slow Internet connection.

Thor. Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) Always blame Canada :rolleyes: , we might not have the fastest in the world but we don't get throttled period, with our unlimited plans makes up for the lack of Epic fast internet speeds. Blame your ISP, and Cable Company shenanigans, It does though matter what isp you go by depending on what Reviews they receive. just don't go blindly looking for isp before you do your research. i would in a second go with third party if i had the chance.

hard8 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 I found out why my Internet was so slow, my cell phone provider was throttling my connection because I had exceeded my 4gb data limit, so they gave me data tethering tell October 5th for free.

hard8 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 I had issues with teksavvy, they double billed me a couple of years back and lost my trust. I just need to stay away from video sites like vevo. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor. Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) The skyfi have unlimited plans, you must of been during the dark ages of the 500gb limit, you should try them again for the sake of sanity.
