Hi Claudia, We do not have high speed internet. When I watch a film on Youtube or other sources, it does not run smoothly. There are short interruptions where my connection cannot keep up. Does that mean that my satelitte internet connection is not fast enough for doing these classes?  What do you think?  We tried skipe once and our connection is not fast enough.  Joanne

Hi Joanne,

Have you attended a Cyber-Fiber Open House? This might be a good way to see how your connection works...

Joanne,

YouTube is not a good test of your internet speed.  It really relies heavily on the RAM of your computer whether it loads quickly or not.

I look forward to helping you get set up for a test.  Do you have a webcam, etc?

Hi Claudia,  No I have not ordered it yet.  We have been so busy here that I wonder if I would have time for it.  I will check in later when we have a little time.  Joanne

I cannot download youtube videos without interuptions, but my internet speed was fine with the class.  Sometimes I even run into slow problems with instant messenger video calls. We are never sure whose internet is slow then.  a short session with Claudia will let you know if it will work for you.   You might be able to borrow a friends laptop that has a built-in web cam to test it out before you buy a web cam.
