madkaw Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Please help me to figure out why hybrid is so much slower at home compared to at a hotel. I have cable internet, I don't think I can get any faster. But when I visit the the site at home it will take forever to download every page I look at. No other site seems to be as slow as hybrid. I love this site but i save my surfing for when i am in a hotel(which is a lot). With the same laptop I use at home the site loads quickly when i am at the hotel, I can't figure it out. I am not a computer guy so if this problem was with my server(roadrunner) I wouldn't know how to argue that fact. Any advice?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Do you think it's your operating system? Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bschiltz Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Are you using wireless or a cable at home? I'm assuming you're using wireless at the hotel, right? If you have wifi at home, check the transfer rate and make sure you're getting a good signal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Go and plug the cable that looks like a wide phone line into the back of your computer, than plug the other end into your modem. Then see if its slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4xwellmurd3r Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Roadrunner offers broadband now? o_O if you're on the wifi down at the bottom you'll see the little computer icon with 3 lines that flashes, mouse over that and it'll show your speed, and how good of a connection you have. and just because you have cable internet doesn't mean it's fast. it could be anything from 1-2Mbit all the way up to a 10+Mbit connection (which is what I have, great stuff for mass downloading) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 He is right. Sometimes HBZ loads realy really slow. Sometimes it's super fast. On the slow days, it seems to hang at the google servers and then snap onto action after it does the google stuff. Something about arctic.google.ads... or something like that.

ShaggyZ Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Slow for me at home, as well. I'm in IT (Info Technology) and am well educated in computer systems security and networking through school and experience and I can't figure out why.

kiwi303 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 about 1 day in 3 so far I can't load Hybridz at all, and have to wait till the next time I'm on the comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth-Z Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 The site hangs every now and then while loading the ads for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators SuperDan Posted May 19, 2008 Administrators Share Posted May 19, 2008 Yup, something wrong here. Seeing allot of disk controller errors in the system log. Calling DELL now to have them come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
