I have noticed some strange slowness on some websites, others nothing.

Email and DU have been the most noted slowness. Email sometimes just seems to back way up and I must disconnect and reconnect to clear things out. It also seems to be sensitive to high volume times.

At first with Du it would crash on me, but recently it has been pretty robust thanks in part to am sure to EarlG.

I just had an upgrade Wednesday and am noticing some slowness creeping back in on DU, but I am sure that is temporary.

Now that I have VPN I would not get rid of it. I can live with some slowness. It is really not that bad. We are just so used to speed that it is noticeable.

Does anyone know if having a VPN makes it harder to get in and out of websites? On or off-line? [View all] BComplex Apr 23 OP
