Internet Performance


It is important to keep in mind that the Internet is made up of many interconnected components that can affect your overall Internet experience.

It is not unusual to experience the following conditions from time to time:

  • Web pages that display slowly, while others display quickly
  • Variations in the time required to check your e-mail or download files
  • Variations in connection speed
  • Error messages ("File not found," "Access denied," "Service not available," etc.) when attempting to connect to some Web pages

Factors that can affect your Internet performance:
  • Conditions of the phone lines in your residence can affect your connection speed.
  • Conditions of the phone lines and switches at your local telephone company can affect your connection speed.
  • Conditions of the Internet computers to which you connect and the number of users accessing those computers can slow your download speeds.
  • Web pages that have been removed, changed location, or are busy can cause error messages.
  • Complex, graphics-intensive, and multimedia-intensive Web pages require longer times to transfer to your computer and to display on your screen.
  • Having multiple Web browsers open, performing multiple downloads, and having multiple programs open on your computer can slow the performance of each individual application.
