These speeds would have been considered pitiful in 1994, never mind 2024.
My 56k modem would get 15kbps. What exactly is going on with grandmas connection?
She on Freenet or something? Is that even still around?
Updating on my Grandma's WiFi is an exercise in extreme patience

Might be faster to pick up the phone and have someone describe the software to you, lol.

I had this experience on a previous holiday as well. I’m talking single digits up and down. This year I brought the portable 4g router my partner bought me last Christmas and my speeds have been tolerable for work and casual gaming.

the speeds are wretched but you’re a good lad to suffer through it to help your nan.

At least they’re allowing that connection to be made and not timing you out. That’s the worst part about having internet like this.
