Why is CU@Home slow at times?
There are a few factors that determine how fast CU@Home loads and processes data: Amount of network traffic on your Internet Service Provider. The type of connection you have to the internet (i.e. dial-up, DSL, cable, etc.) System resources available in your computer (i.e. memory and processor speed). For a faster connection, try connecting to your Internet Service Provider at “off peak” hours. For example, America Online is usually busiest between 6pm and 9pm, and during that time their Internet service can be quite slow. Connecting earlier or later may improve your connection speed.
