It looked the same way to me too.

It may be an unreliable internet connection, Aussie. Here in upstate NY, I find that sometimes when the internet is not responding well, the modem is obviously lacking bars. Turn the modem off and leave it off overnight, or for a minute, during the day. Turn it on when you are ready to use it. Just lie magic, it will reboot in a couple minutes. I know that my internet provider routinely disconnects us Fri, Sat, Sun, and school holidays. I just keep trying to get back on a few times if necessary. Perseverance wins!

Thanks retirenow for the advice. Unfortunately some jerk decided that Australia was going to have a super doper fast broadband connection called the National Broadband Network (NBN) and you wouldn't believe the problems that has caused. A friend of mine had no phone or internet for three weeks, just because some idiot had disconnected her phone etc to install another phone and forgot to connect it back again. Also our phones and internet are connected and if the internet is unplugged, then we have no phone service. What a brilliant idiot who devised this system. Hugs.

Well said aussie!! I don't find it any faster as it has been touted that it would be, And, mine keeps dropping out on a regular basis. x

I know what you mean ichibanvic, we had about a five minute blackout last night and it screwed everything up. Seems to be OK today. Life is full of little surprises eh???? lol Hugs.
