New registrants: if you try to register you will get a message that we are not accepting new members. Due to the limitations of this forum software which is not designed to deal with incessant CIA harrassment, we have no alternative but to disable automatic registration, and then we can't change this automatic message. Your account needs to be created by admin before you can post in the forums. Because otherwise, almost all registrants are CIA sock puppets. To get a forum account you need to send a brief presentation email to loohanforum at gee mail dot com, also suggesting a user name. Then we can enable you manually. But before you even do that, take a look around the forum and my site and decide whether you REALLY WANT to join/post, before you jack us around. Most seemingly genuine people who apply fail to even ever log in once to change their password after we go through the work of creating a membership for them. Then we must quickly delete their account again lest the CIA has intercepted their temporary password. And of the few who do change their password, most still never post. Maybe they realize we are too weird for them, I don't know. They get real quiet, never to be heard from again.
GLOSSARY: Sometimes unusual terminology or abbreviations are used that with some luck you might find defined here.

painfully slow internet last 3 months
Is it just me? Around 3 months ago my internet in AR slowed way down and remained that way. But if i check the speed it's the usual 1.3 kbps {correction: Mbps}. That's Windstream "broadband" i get via phone line.
And for the last month i have been in VA using Verizon ethernet, 90 kbps {correction: Mbps}, but it seems exactly the same non-speed as at home, at least on any webpages with a significant amount of images. And gmail often takes ages to send the smallest emails; sometimes i even have to close gmail and re-open it before it will send, Then sometimes i will then find it has sent, even though the gmail interface was stuck on "still working...".
I can upload and download videos real quickly here, though; a small fraction of the time it takes at home.
At home i use a decent desktop PC. Here i use the same old laptop that used to load fast here in previous winters with the same ISP as before. A newer laptop is no faster.

I think this problem may be only in USA. I wonder why.

Right, sorry. Just re-checked and got 82 Mbps.
