Internet Speed Affects

Having a slow internet is just a tip of the iceberg when it comes to computer problems. In order to understand why your internet speed is slow you must also connect the devices that make that connection possible. From that point on trying to troubleshoot what equipment is causing the problem can take time. My suggestion is to experiment on a device at a time until you isolate the trouble device. And hopefully it can be replaced so that your internet speeds can increase.

Amazon Delivery Confirmation Solved

If your one of those consumers who always buy at Amazon and always wonder why you get those delivery confirmation from them with no package. Here is the mystery to the where's my package problem. 

It looks like carriers are being instructed from their superiors that after a specific time period they have to pull over and scan all your packages. Regardless if they have been delivered or not. It's an agreement among Amazon and the carrier to continue doing business. Not doing so by the carrier will eventually result in the carrier loosing business from Amazon. 

So what this means is that you will get a delivery confirmation from Amazon that your package was delivered, when in reality it's not or it's in transit.

Now it all makes sense and consumers have no choice but to adapt with the reality of package delivery service.

Internet Speed Test

Want to test your internet connection to see if your getting exactly what your paying for. Here are some great speed test sites to check out depending on your service to make sure your speed is at it's prime.

Contact your carrier and find out what your upload and download speeds are for the plan that you are paying for.

Do some test and see if the upload and download speeds match on what your paying for. I would run a few test at different times of the week when no one is on, to make sure that your speed test are accurate.

If your not getting the speed that your paying for, then contact your carrier and dispute that with them. If that leads no where, then your choices are limited. Which is to stay with the carrier or find a carrier who is going to give you what you paid for. Good luck.

Disable Auto Scrolling

Hate the new browser auto scrolling option? Most websites are just not scrolling friendly and give users a hard time, viewing pages.  The only fix right now is to disable this option until everyone upgrades their websites.

Chrome

Load chrome://flags/#smooth-scrolling in the browser's address bar and hit enter. This takes you directly to the preference on the flags page. Alternatively, openchrome://flags directly, hit F3, and search for smooth scrolling to find it this way. Click on the disable link to turn the feature off.

Firefox

This is why I was happy to see there's actually a way to disable the automatic scrollfeature. You only have to open the browser's configuration settings (Tools > Options) , go to the Advanced section and then, in the General tab, remove the tick from “Useautoscrolling”


IE

Launch Internet Explorer 8 by double-clicking on its desktop icon or by clicking the "Start" button and navigating to the browser. 2. Click "Tools" on the overhead menu and then scroll down to "Internet Options." In the "Internet Options" window, click the "Advanced" tab.
