OK, maybe it's because the most recent version of Google Chrome is somehow slowing down your Internet connection, now.

 

You might have better luck with another browser also based on Chromium (SRWare Iron, as already suggested, but there are many others). It might also be worth checking with another browser that isn't Chromium-based, such as Opera (as you already have Firefox), for example. Personally, Firefox remains my main browser, but I also switch (mainly for web development or gaming) to Iron, Brave, Vivaldi, Wavebox, Waterfox, Opera, Edge and other browsers regularly. It's always useful to have at least two different browsers for testing purposes, actually, and also for certain tasks.

Thanks guys for all your replys.

As the W10 (somewhat older notebook and don't ask) machine is my primary work station I have decided to use FF for now.

Got better things to do. 5555

It's several broken fiber optics in the Red Sea right now, this is one reason for slow internet speed:

 

Yes George, I could probably wear that if I was routing thru Europe but 100km up the road with 2 machines running in parallel over the same WiFi connection. There is the problem.

Likely not even a real 4 wheel drive, and do you think a casual driver would know all those tricks to get unstuck.

Are you for real? Hard to clone a Jeep without 4WD!

The casual driver, even in Aus., should never drive onto a beach.

The slowness could be down to the amount of data that google is harvesting.

Questionable as 2 machines with very close specifications, accessing the same WiFi Router and same Chrome release have such a big anomally in Chrome performance.

About your initial problem, have you tried completely uninstalling Chrome and then reinstalling it on one of your computers and checking if that changes anything?

 

 

 

Yes, I did this morning:-

Uninstall

Restart

Registry clean

Restart

Reinstall Chrome

Made no difference???

Sorry, the correct link is : https://testmy.net/

 

A comma was unintentionally included previously.

Don't know what to make of these results using "TestMy" - VPN OFF and VPN ON, definitely something wrong with them!

Also attached are the results recorded on my W11 Notebook this morning - VPN OFF using both sites.

Suspect that was/is your issue - change to Firefox may have changed VPN.  Try running without any VPN.

Thanks, guys, the results posted in the OP were recorded with the VPN OFF hence the Udon Thani IP address.

I was/am considering going down that path but using CCleaner to do a registry clean between uninstall and reinstall.

I subscribe to Express VPN and by routing through Sydney at least all the sites I use (including this) are connecting and operating smoothly with a little improvement in the "Speedtest" results but still nowhere near where they should be.

Another airline I have added to my list of "NEVER AGAIN" which includes:-

Qantas

Jetstar

BA

Garuda and all Indonesian.

Tiger

and others.

I have 2 HP Notebooks connected to 3BB via the same Wifi Router. One running W10 and the other W11, both fully updated.

Chrome on the W10 Notebook slowed down yesterday with a lot of sites not connecting at all. It had taken many attempts to get the "Speedtest" done.

The browsing data has been completely cleared and "Chrome Settings" on both machines identical, extensions (only 1, Adobe Acrobat) off.

I have activated Firefox on the W10 Notebook, imported my Chrome bookmarks and run many of the sites without problem, Speedtest is OK as well.

Been to many sites looking for a solution.

Any ideas here?

Thank you

Can I assume the move also includes the Australian section?

Key Specifications of Toyota Hilux

 

Although the specifications are similar the vehicle appears to look like a 20yo Nissan rather than a Toyota????

Not only a phenomena isolated to Thailand

I think we use the same airport--and I haven't had to use Passport, since I got Pink card--- but still had it on me as had to use it in most  Hotels, for them to check Visa  I guess.

Not all of us have the pink card, what's so hard about slipping your boarding pass into the passport header pages for inspection?

Call me paranoid, but when travelling anywhere my passport with a thumb drive, containing my life's files (encrypted), are contained in a sealed plastic bag in a leg pocket. Just incase I survive a plane/traffic crash but loose my notebook computer.
