I have been experiencing incredibly slow internet this past week, so I just did a speed test.

These are the results of the speed test I just took today, compared to the test when I first signed up. Quite a difference!  What's causing this?

    Uh oh, I see a "tree abuse" lawsuit in the works. Hope they accept your apology and leave it at that.  :)

    I almost did the same with a tree in the back.  As it was filling out with leaves this spring my signal was  dropping, and following the line of sight it was pointed right at the top.  As it turns out the decrease in signal strength had nothing to do with the tree, as after the tree filled out my signal strength crept back up to normal.  Still, even if connected, I would have only addressed the tree if it had actually caused a problem, not just a drop in signal strength.  I didn't feel the need to apologize to the tree, though, as I never told it I was looking at it in an unkind way.  LOL.
