Hi Céline,

Don't be sad ... I realize it's a bit technical ... the reason I posted was to see if other people have the same experience too.

Translated in 'normal' language: all internet traffic (email, browsing on the www etc.) is chopped into portions (packets) and routed
between source and destination. Normally the internet protocol takes care that all portions are glued together in the right order.
But the latter seems to be a growing problem lately.

This will lead to the fact that sometimes with 'half' arrived traffic ... browsers are stuck with forever loading signs,
Skype calls dropping off, email is not consistently arriving or not reported as having arrived etc.

Since I noticed this behavior under different conditions I was wondering how global this problem really is.

Sorry for confusing you but glad to say we're still in the physical world where we can appreciate the beautiful flowers ...

Cheers
