everything seems ok on my end
guess my computer is still wet from Isaac
The answer about the water was for Fish. Your problem is probably not due to water. Is the slowness limited to SV or do your all web pages load slowly? I would contact your service provider and have them walk you through a check of your upload and download speeds between you and the DSLAM (if you have DSL service). Or, you could try running a speed test using;My SmokinVette has been very slow loading for the past three weeks. At times I have given up on trying to get it connected. It'll go as far as displaying a blank page with the SmokinVette logo at the top but then it won't get past that. And when I do get it going it takes forever to skip back and forth between topics.....................................
And it's totally dry where I live as rain hasn't fallen for months and daytime temperatures are in the mid 90's.

You need to check with your ISPs to determine what speeds you are paying for.
Hmmmm, interesting. Is there any specific time of day that you access SV? Since MiFi works over the cellular network, cellular traffic through the tower that your location is nearest to will affect your upload/download speeds. When did students in your area go back to school (if there are students in/near your location)? Are you accessing SV near the time when they are going to or coming back from school when they might be using their cell phones? Can you correlate the slowness to a particular time of day? If you know where your nearest cell tower is, might there be a business nearby where employees might be making calls on their breaks? Have there been fires in your area? If your ISP uses microwave to transmit from the cell tower to the central office, smoke will degrade and slow transmission speeds. I don't have any answers; just thinking of the possibilities.It's only SmokinVette that is slow as everything else loads normally. The problem has been off-and-on for the past several weeks. I get my internet service thru Verison and it comes in to a "MiFi" that is mounted on my roof and then piped in via a coax cable (my mobile home has an aluminum skin and roof so no signals penetrate).
A few days ago I couldn't get it to load at all and finally gave up trying.
I've been having the same problems too. I switched my internet browser from Explorer to Mozilla Firefox, no problems now.:thumbsup3:It's only SmokinVette that is slow as everything else loads normally.

I tend to think that the slowness is a local issue for you. The problem is probably not in the backbone network or in the SV server itself, otherwise more would be complaining about it.
