May 2014

Sometimes I can get text to show, but no graphics, and youtube vids won't play. Some days things seem to be working half way. I have an appointment with a tech from my ISP tomorrow night (because my dsl speed is fluctuating too) but I don't know that it's an ISP problem, since it's mostly DU I'm having trouble with. I've had some trouble with youtube and imgur too.

So...does anyone have an idea of what the hell might be going on?

OH, and I'm using Chrome. And right now things are better or I wouldn't even be able to post this. But it goes up and down and I don't know why.
