Topic: Internet very slow and keeps stopping here. Is it general or just here

I have having great difficulty using the internet today.

I cannot get things like YouTube to play videos and I cannot get Sky News live.

Some static pages say not available, then come up later.

So I am wondering if it is my computer system, the BT connection or some major problem on the internet that I cannot fix.

My internet connection has dropped out then restarted on its own accord.

YouTube is running the My Mix play list.

It paused, then went through the second one fine.

It then paused a little.

Then did a five second advert.

Then started another video, stopped after a few seconds, then, while I am typing this, keeps singing a bit, then pauses the starts again.

How long will it take until it gets to the strangers looking out of the window? :-)

The internet performance here seems to have gone back to normal, at least for now.

An interesting puzzle, with an interesting answer - where did that performance take place?

Yes, I wondered where Hermannstadt was.

An interesting story of people, German heritage, with their own dialect version of German, in an area tha is now in Romania.

But the band also plays in Germany.

For example, in Dinkelsbühl.
