Tech Tip of the Day: As Technology improves, and the amount of data you can store becomes larger and more cost effective...the size of files increases. This means the amount of data that is transmitted over the internet is greater than it was 10, even 5 years ago. Especially those that work from home, streaming applications and transferring data constantly can put a large strain on your internet connection.
That 256 Kbps "high speed" data plan you signed up for in May of 2000 is no longer sufficient for you to do your work at an acceptable speed, and your husband playing XBox live in the other room while streaming Pandora over the wifi is not helping.
Your Cable/DSL/Satellite company likely has a faster plan available now that may even be cheaper than what you're paying, since your bill has gone up $3/yr every year anyway. Time to upgrade, the issue is not that your company supplied PC(brand new, not running anything other than your streamed virtual desktop) is slow.
Thanks, and keep your IT guy sane
