Does big spinning circle (not MS) mean bad internet connection?
I have tried to pay my rent online, and it says my identity is
confirmed and the next screen should say that the money has been paid. But instead I get a blue circle (not the MS circle) going round and rount for 10 minutes now. At the same time I have Anvir, which among other things will monitor the dowload speed and it gives readings as low as 19 bytes/second. Not KB but B. Sometimes it goes up to 10KB, eveb though I'm doing nothing else online. Does this mean there is something wrong with my landlady's router or internet connection? She has a repeater, bought by mistake and now used either for testing, because she can't return it, or because she is having trouble too, that when in the same room as the router displays nice lights, but half-way between the router and her computer (2 rooms farther from the router), sometimes the red light goes on that means "No good signal", and someteimes the blue or white light goes on and that's a bad color too. (maybe it means signal not being relayed) Does this mean there is something wrong with her internet connection? My xp laptop however is only 15 feet from the router, though one wall, and it's having the problem above. |

A script is not completing (your link is down, badly written script, trying to load unavailable third party site, antivirus is blocking malicious script, redirecting to a site with a bad cert etc). OTOH, you get a 10 for patience. One point for every minute you sat there and watched it. I'd phone them up to confirm that they received the payment, and if not, ask for an alternative method.

That will eliminate problems with a 3d party site. My guess is you really do have a bad connection. Then you have to figure out where the bottle neck is. I had to fight with my DSL provider for a while before they finally found their issue. They gave me 2 routers that did not fix anything. |
