Internet problems
My Internet connection is very slow.
Many factors contribute to the speed with which you can surf the
Internet. They include: network speed, network conditions, time of
day (when everyone else is surfing, your access can be slow) and
popularity of the sites you are trying to access. If accessing a
particular site is very slow, try later.
My browser cannot find the URL address I typed in.
Make sure you separated the domain names of the address with the
forward slash (/). Check the spelling of each name and the syntax of
the address carefully. A single incorrect letter or missed character
will make it impossible for your browser to locate the site.
