Win 10 on the WookieTab chimed in with a notification, that it didn't know where I am and that I should set a default location so it can sell it to advertisers help companies understand my needs better.
So I did. 48°52.6′S 123°23.6′W[^] Happy now, Microshaft?

Yeah. You have to duck occasionally when a satellite gets decommissioned, but the benefits are great: the Sky Pixie fanatics never knock on the door.

That's an advantage? They are always there for interesting discussions and modestly will not take the bottle of beer you offer them. They just are trying to bring little lost sheep back to their herd. Isn't that something you should appreciate? Besides that bottle of beer, my hospitality also includes 'good' music (Venom, have not listened to that junk since I was a very evil kid) while discussing the results of my latest evolutionary algorithm.
I wonder why they don't come anymore.

Once they buzzed while I was with my D&D party. We scrambled to organize a fake Pagan ritual with the props fom the session - plus my GF has two gory artworks of Hannibal (TV series) right on the wall facing the door. They were horrified, we were amused.

Last time they came they brought along a guy with a long beard as reinforcement that looked like Moses himself. It did not take long until Moses decided that it's time to leave. Quickly. They probably have a map of the city at their headquarters and a little black flag now marks my house. Now they don't come anymore

With that information they must by now have deduced that you are Santa Claus and we must be your Elves. Thanks a lot.

Santa lives in the Pacific Ocean (also sharing wifi with Cthulhu)?
Check them co-ordinates again; wrong Pole.

Nah.
If what is said is true (and it's on the Internet, so it must be), then Santa and Griff are (literally) poles apart.

What do the Poles have to do with this? They must have their fingers in everything.

The moral being: "Never get stuck between two men with stupid moustaches".
They should have moved, even if it meant renting for a few months.

That's funny; I haven't seen you here.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

This is the wrong place to ask technical questions, as it clearly says at the top of the page.
Ask here: Ask a question[^] but try to explain what you have done to solve the problem - i.e. what the debugger shows you is happening, and how you got there.

I recently upgraded my DSL package from 3MB download to 6MB download. I initially wanted 12MB download but I was just a tad too far from the box to get 12MB consistently. My ISP uses AT&T's network and their U-verse gateway router (Pace 5268AC). The speed tests I've ran show the expected improvement over the same tests I ran earlier with my 3MB connection. The problem is the initial (finding and) loading of the web sites I visit. They are painfully slow. Even the internal configuration site (192.168.1.254) takes 15-20 seconds to finally show up in the browser (Chrome). Before I upgraded, I had slower download speeds, but the sites were found and the download started right away. Now I have faster download speeds, but it takes at least 15 seconds for the browser to find the site and start the download. After that, sites load very fast.
I'm thinking it is a setting someplace in the router but I've not a clue which one. I can't imagine it being the computer or a NIC setting since neither of those changed after the upgrade.
Anyone have a idea as to what I might check?
[update]
IE seems to load the sites noticeably faster. PINGing the sites (e.g., www.codeproject.com) also produces a plethora of "Request timed out" responses.
[/update]
Thanks.

Really sounds like you have a faulty modem if the same problem occurs on your phone for example. Call your isp and get a new one
Before you do that, set the DNS Servers in your Modem's web interface to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, those are Google's DNS servers and consistently fast.
