[QUOTE="krs, post: 1836737, member: 67742"] Happy Thanksgiving! Well, in Canada at least it depends how you connect to the net. With the connection via cable there was always a bottle neck both because of the cable which was shared by many users and also insufficient bandwidth of the network if you used a third tier ISP. With a direct fibre connection to the house (FTTH) or eben fibre to the node (FTTN) there is no bottle neck at the user side, so that part doesn't slow down with extra internet traffic. But there is also the other end, the websites you are accessing - some of the sites I was accessing this morning were struggling with the traffic load. A web page would often only load partially. You can certainly try Ian's suggestions, but for Thanksgiving people in the US, and Canada as well, go a bit nuts when they see the 80 and 90% discounts and websites do get overwhelmed. [/QUOTE]
