2G network messing with my flow, ups and down in life
Such crazy world we live in!
I mean, 2G, 2G! Aka GPRS as we fondly call it here in nigeria.
How do I start now..
Hello steemians!
Its been one hell of a week for me, half way through the week, o. Wednesday, I traveled to my current location in osun state. Prior to this, I had been enjoying relatively good network and has lightning fast download speeds.
But as with everything in life, you cant enjoy for too long before a downhill tumble starts.
I believe life to be a wave, and in waves(if you did physics in college/University) you'll know that waves have peaks and dips, with things like wavelength, amplitude and all bunch of annoying things thrown in.
Well, I see life as a wave with the peaks and dips and nothing else.
Along that wave, we sometimes get a period of good times, fun, enjoyment and all round bountiful blessings and at other times we get dirt.
Life picks up dirt and throws at our faces.
Big whoop.
Right now, Ill say im in a low, with things like network not going well, stockpiles of work to attend to, and a bunch of things to do before October that I absolutely must have accomplished.
The beauty of it all is that after a low comes a rise, jhst like in crypto, no coin dips forever, even bitconnect still swings up and down in its current low of the lowest.
Zclassic lost a lot of steam after the btcp fork and yet has recovered a little and may even swing up following the ANON fork coming up.
What am I saying?
Im saying, when life gives you lemon, you make lemonade, to our nigerian ppl them, "them soak us for water, but them no know say we be garri as we swell come rise pass our former self"
I hooe this post goes through, Its really annoying that I have to use 2G network, something I last saw 3-4 years ago
Ive been so used to 4G and HSDPA that I totally forgot that network was once slow, and in places where those higher tier networks arent available, network is still slow.
Life takes us through ups and downs. We get our lows sometimes, this doesn't make us a failure. Even our heart beat has peak and lowest points.
I hope your internet speed gets back up soon. Slow internet can be frustrating
Thanks for the encouragement mehn, we just gotta go through life n let it go through us

@destinysaid,
Yeah Osun state has always had a problem with internet connectivity. My brother served in Osun five years ago and he claimed about really slow internet connection problem.
Hard luck.

Yeah, I understand you.
This is what I battle with daily here. And now it even feels like a normal thing to me . Really, the state is terrible for its poor network service.

Sorry about your network issues @destinysaid. Hope you're not using Glo; their 3G service is slower than 2G on a normal day.
No o, this is 9mobile, street name, etisalat .
Good in delta, worst in osun
Hi, I can help you, as I see you're using mobile/ tablet try using Puffin browser or Opera Mini (not Mobile - that's two separate apps).
Especially Puffin is great browser, much, much faster than native browser as much of computation (javascript etc.) is done in the cloud (on their servers). Both browsers helps when using slow connection, because they compress all data you receive and you can choose to compress images (lossy compression = lower quality) to save even more. Both browser use constant connection instead of individual HTTP request making them faster and more stable on bad connections.
Just a word of warning - don't use them to log into sites with something valuable, like bank or e-mail or steemit. At least Puffin, not sure about Opera, can read content sent/received via secure connection (SSL, HTTPS).
As for whole slow internet issue... don't even mention it to me. It was one of the reasons I lost few BTC worth of cryptocurrency back in 2014, ok, main reason were my health & family problems but no reliable access to internet also played a role. I haven't recovered any of lost money ;-(
Ok thanks a lot, will explore these browsers more closely
Cellular network is really annoying especially when you need it the most. I have abducted in first searching for where there is network coverage in a new location before I press on what I need it for. Just like the saying "what doesn't kill, only makes us stronger"
