Sorry peeps. I'm gonna bail. Enjoy.

Well, at least I got to see Sammy before you bailed.

Sorry you have to go so soon, but life has a way of throwing us a curve ball, so I understand completely when someone has to bail on these challenges.

I was at doctor's office until late afternoon yesterday getting checked out for a problem I'm having in my upper back. Still have to go for x-rays to find the problem so that will happened next week. And the morning was taken up with family matters, so no photo for me yesterday. I promise I'm not bailing, just some days, life gets in my way too.

It's only 4th! Usually you hang on a bit longer. If it's sudden work rush only for a week or two come back to shoot the end of the month. It's better to skip days if needed than bail out completely.

Yes, my new connection is running. Upload to flickr was really fast. Made some network speed tests. Download average 210Mbit/s and Upload 104Mbit/s

That's just cruel. I'm sitting 300m away from a fibre cabinet that has not been activated so I'm humming along a 8Mbs download and perhaps 2 on a quiet night uploading.

little rant over.

Remember it's not free. Cost me more than K1ii that I don't yet have.

We've had fibre since we moved in over 20 years ago... It just keeps getting faster. Good job really when everyone is home streaming Netflix on 4 or 5 devices.You really notice the difference when you go somewhere without it.

OMG I am stuck with a satellite connection with a huge delay in theory I may get 25 down and 5 up in practise not even close......

photolady95 · 10-05-2018, 03:55 AM

I'm only getting 89 download/upload 11.2 but I'm limited because I'm on my laptop with a 10/100 built in NIC. If I was on the desktop, I'd get better speeds cause the NIC in it is 10/100/1000. And 89 is good for this laptop.

**pepperberry farm** · 10-05-2018, 04:06 AM

out here in rural BFE, I'm lucky to get what we get: 25mps down and 3 up.... it's either that or an ISP with a data cap.....

there's always dial-up, folks!

they say that rural fiber is moving in our direction, but I'm not holding my breath....

D1N0 · 10-05-2018, 04:12 AM

My connection is faster than my pc can receive over WiFi. I could get a newer wifi adapter, but it is fast enough for me. 200mbps download and 20mbps upload.

photolady95 · 10-05-2018, 04:24 AM

Wifi is slower than wired, most times. And wifi is more apt to get spyware, malware,and trojans or is more easily hacked. I'd rather have wired connection than wifi any day. My laptop is wired, not on wifi.
