anyhow Ubuntu seems to be optimised for streaming video on youtube . My cheap charlie plan thottles back from 56Mbps to a lowly 1.6Mbps after the monthly top up is exceeded , but i can stream youtube at 720p all day ( ma and pa's carrot planting tips etc) and even live shows most of the time at the rated 1.6Mbps - however for downloading apps and updates etc is another thing , and another reason why I am waiting for high speed to resume to install Windows onto the laptop 

 

I can only wish for that sort of speed but our plan doesn't go over so it's the same all the time.

 

Downloading can be a bit slow to the point where the system stalls so not much happens there except for

 

the system and browser updates.


ps to be clear my comments are in black only


I find it easier to reply to directs parts of a post in blue so it separates the text a bit more and I also delete parts

 

of a post that aren't relevant to my replies.

 


Is none to worry just you did not copy as quote but seemed to have  jumped above the quote line and edited from there which looked like in passing that was part of my original text, i think the idea of the quote function is to display the original text which one's reply is noted below even if an edited version of the original

 

anyhow , I think Windows updates can disrupt streaming / user initiated downloading if your bandwidth is marginal - your resident security real-time scanning can add to the woes , anti-spyware , anti-virus , aggresive firewall, malware blockers etc and sometimes not compatiable with each other.  Upload speed influences downloading ,so if to many parasites are reporting to home base at the same time another problem.

Home Intruder installed Zombie control is the worst , can only clean reinstall and change passwords beacuse the operating system thinks the spy app was user installed so security will not likely detect - same for user installed nannyware ie keyloggers etc
