Slow-loading websites

Even though I pay for blazing fast internet at home, now that I have the internet in my pocket, this problem has been reintroduced into my life. The consequence? Almost everything I do on the web on my phone is through a google service. I never read the news or a blog article in its home, I do it through google reader. Sites that don't pass through their articles to RSS feeds (I'm looking at you, NYTimes) frustrate me by wasting my time, and I'll avoid them until I'm deskside unless I'm absolutely desperate. If you're on a slower connection at home, there are a few things you can do to try and optimize what bandwidth you have. Use the fastest browser (Chrome) and run an ad-blocker.

impatient me can get annoyed at a website taking forever to load. I keep thinking this better be worth my time waiting. I have been known to holler at the computer "come On!!!!!!!" lot of good that does.

I usually take a nap while its loading.

Guess what: it isn't just your immagination anymore. All these people who have been bitching about poor performance from Comcast have been right all along. The Associated Press has discovered through tests with Bitorrent and other file-sharing software, using the King James Bible as the document to share, that Comcast uses a common hacker technique called "man in the middle" to impersonate client systems and squelch file-sharing data connections. Go to http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071023/ap_on_hi_te/com cast_data_discrimination_2 to read the AP's report first-hand via Yahoo! News. Makes you wonder how many other ISP's are engaging in the very thing they profess to hate with a passion.

It's all a relative thing. Sure, it's annoying to have to wait for some of these sites to come up, but you can always say to hell with it and go on to something else. If it is really something you want or need info on, a slow site probably is better than whatever the alternatives are (i.e., go to a library for the info, write to a supplier or manufacturer, phone someone to get info sent to you, or if it's something that you can't get any other way, then you just have to put up with the inconvenience of a wait for something that's not otherwise available.

Slow-loading websites are essentially just a nuisance that can be largely avoided with a faster connection. I suppose many sites take advantage of the latest technologies, resulting in pages loading slower and slower on older computers.

Yea I want to take a bat to the computer when this happens.

Annoying but gives you the chance to do other things while the website loads up.

Rate it all can be this way some times.

It's depressing to think that during this time one could be constructing bridges a mile long or devising a novel of legendary and epic proportions, instead I'm jus' staring at a flickering screen, luckily I have the wonderous invention called iTunes to help while away those long minutes.

Slow loading websites are a pain, they were awful with AOL. Websites load faster with cable or DSL. One just has to be patient oh but wait I have no patience. I just curse at the website, exit out then start over or I give up.

unfortunately, many websites i have visited take a long time to load are are extremely slow on occasions, including rate it all.

I really hate it when websites have so many pictures or advanced graphics that it takes forever too load. However, it really depends on what type of internet and computer you have. I have Comcast, and websites usually take only about 5 seconds to fully load.
