How SLOW can you go? My internet connection is driving me CRAZY!

Aug 4, 2013 | A day in my life, Blog

crazyI’m really battling with my internet connection lately – it’s so slow it takes forever to open……… by the time it does, I could’ve made a cup of coffee, cut out my fabric pieces and be ready to start sewing my softie!!! This is no good for trying to upload photo tutorials for my soft toy patterns 🙁

GRRR#@*%&#!

It’s driving me NUTS!

I’m paying for the FASTEST connection I can get, but it’s just going slower and slower? I’ve been using this global broadband speedtest to check my internet speed… I am lucky if I get

  • 3.4 Mbs Download speed
  • 0.76 Mbs Upload speed.

internetspeedtestresult I’ve been wondering what speeds other people get, and I suddenly had a bright idea…

I’ll show you MINE –
if you show me yours?

🙂 haha!




Please can you check and let me know what YOUR download speed is?

It’s easy to do – just go to the global broadband speedtest website and

* Don’t click on any ads  – wait till you see this green button – BEGIN TEST! 🙂

https://www.speedtest.net/I’d love it if you could post your Download and Upload speed for me below, and maybe what town/country you are in!) If I know most people have a faster connection than me, I can get the telco to acknowledge things aren’t right and do something about it? Who knows, maybe it’s something as simple as upgrading the phone lines….

Maybe I should stop complaining? Things are a whole lot better than they used to be – the phone lines used to be strung up between the gum trees and used to come down EVERY time we had a storm!!!! 🙂

Oh well, wish me luck,


Pauline McArthur - Funky Friends Factory. . Till next time… Happy Sewing,
