Internet use....

The efficiency of devices and whether they're cabled/WiFied to the router makes a difference.

Your question wasn’t stupid Labaik.
My answer was an attempt at humour! I too wonder if we are affecting what others do now we’re all using internet more.

Isn't there a problem? I don't watch TV, so I wouldn't know, but I can tell that it's very slow, especially during working hours.

You can test your broadband speed here

www.broadband.co.uk/broadband-speed-test/

Compare it with very early in the morning or late at night.

I struggled to make a video call earlier because it kept freezing.

PS. I don't suppose posting on GN makes much difference. It's the millions of schoolchildren and home workers who are using bandwidth.

What about all the people watching TV via Broadband? There doesn't seem to be a problem there.

My broadband speed is noticeably slower. I could kick myself now for not installing fibre optic.

I did hear that local children were having problems due to broadband speed etc. I must apologise for asking stupid questions.

Labaik Sorry to laugh, but your question was a bit daft - your son is right. Small things like ordinary people like us on here won't make a scrap of difference to businesses etc. being able to use their computers. Keep on here as much as you like

I asked my son and he said it's only downloading stuff that takes up a lot of broadband. I know you all think it's funny and I'm being stupid but sometimes even small things can make a difference.

We GN’ers are causing the breakdown of stay-at-home workers, school children, basically the world and his wife.

What?! Yes, you are probably using far more broadband than you should. Stop it.
