Slow Internet Connection

My broadband connection is so slow that I could actually take a nap before my browser opens. Well, that's a wee bit exaggerated. Anyway I have not been able to do much blog hopping because of the slow connection as I don't have the time nor the patience for that. I called my internet provider yesterday to complain. My broadband speed should be from 2 MB up. My speed is actually below 500 kb and that is pretty slow for me and my kids. The tech support person asked me to test my internet's speed at a specific website. I told I already did but he countered that I should test it 3 times and get the average. I've actually tested the speed about 4 times but I obliged just to humor him. After registering speeds of 406, 530 and 480, the tech support finally agreed that "yes, your speed is 60% below the accepted norm for your bundle". Duh?! So, Mr. Tech support told me to wait for up to three days for their repairman to service the central panel in my vicinity.

In line with this, I have not been dropping ECs, blog hopping and commenting on blogs. So dear readers, desperateblogger is incapacitated due to technical difficulties. Regular service will be back as soon as possible. Please bear with me.
