I feel like the Internet moves so much slower when it's hot outside...or is it because of something else? I don't know what is causing it lately, but it sure is frustrating. Anybody know for sure? Is there a cure?

actually believe it or not, it does. i did an experiment on that. but not so much it would make it unbearable. from 0 degrees, to 90 degrees, theres about a 10-12 percent change in performance, 0 degrees being the fastest (fahrenheit).

I think it more depends on the quality of your computer and connection, and how many other users are on at the same time. When I had dial up, it would be so bogged down at the busy times of day, like 4pm. Then I got DSL, but my old computer had so many viruses that the internet just crawled. Now I have DSL and a nice computer and everything is fine!

I think it has more to do with the fact that because it's hot outside there are more people inside utilizing the internet. The heat keeps people indoors, they get bored so they get on the internet thus causing traffic jams.

Yes, the heat has a terrible effect on the Internet, that is why it is closed for cleaning on the 1st day of August every year. Make sure you don't try and use it for that 24 hours.

It's basic kinetics. When the weather is hotter the Internet tubes expand increasing their internal diameter. The results in a net slowdown of data. A cheap trick, if you want to avoid this, is to wrap your PC, INCLUDING your phone cord, in regular aluminum foil. Reflective side out.

no it absolutely does not. when it is hot outside more kids will play or do stuff on the computer. when this occurs the main data server in another stat has more files from the Internet to process.
