Anyone in Mid-Atlantic US, experiencing slow, locked up, dropped and just at times unusable service from SW?

It’s so frustrating and very inconvenient. I have to constantly refresh and clear history and web site data. I have ran internet speed checks and every other site works fine. Only SW, gives me problems. This happened a lot, months ago and some complained.

This place is a mess. I suspect the recent "improvements" are actually simplifications because SW is going broke. This happened at EP too.

@hunkalove Oh, that's worrying! There are a few people on here I wouldn't like to lose 😥

I can't see recent posts and customizing feeds is not available for now.

The only thing I'm seeing is that, unless I select "new", when I refresh my page it shows me a post from 1974.

@uncalled4 me too now

No. But last week I was getting pop ups saying I may be infected and to download something which I didn't. It only happened while using SW
Nudistsue26 · 31-35, F
@Oster1 yes. I contacted admins but said it wasn't sw
Oster1 · M
@Nudistsue26 Well, I wonder why every other site, works just fine! 🤔

@Oster1 you got me

I have problems with this site constantly. Every time I log on. It’s been going on all year, and I’m not in the mid-Atlantic area. Not sure what that area would be, the Carolinas?
Oster1 · M
@Carissimi Thank you, for replying. Yes, that region. If you care to share, I would love to know your experiences. 😊🌷

It’s happening now, as it does every time I log on. I change screens, and it tells me I’m offline. @Oster1
That does occur here with SW and other services, games, etc. But it’s sporadic. When it happens I just switch my VPN location and bingo! I’m now connected in a location that is not experiencing connection problems
Oster1 · M
@stratosranger I tried that too and at times it worked but slowed connection speed on other sites too.

I guess the Oster Cos, need to get into the Internet Service Provider business as well! We know how to make a long lasting, quality product!😉
KimmyGary · F
It did that for me for months then finally started working
Oster1 · M
@KimmyGary At that time, the same thing was happening to me! 😊🌺
Oster1 · M
@KimmyGary At times, I couldn’t even connect to SW.
Oster1 · M
@KimmyGary I have the highest speed available and Google Speed Check, validates that. You are right, SW, didn’t load. Now, it’s the same problems but I do connect but it just sits idle and just hangs. 😊

It's all over the world! From some of the post complaints even Australia.

@Oster1 algorithm got changed.

See this link and some of my replies on how to get around it. It's not pretty though.

More than half who answered this have me blocked 🤣
Oster1 · M
@ExtremeNext If only they had enough sense to know what they are missing out on, by not knowing you. That’s so foolish.

I’m so blessed to have you as my friend. That’s a fact!🤗🌼
ExtremeNext · 31-35
@Oster1 well that's true I am wonderful 😏
Oster1 · M
@ExtremeNext Yes you are. I could add to that but really don’t want to embarrass you. You know, what I mean. 😊😏
SW-User
Yeah,this is definitely not gonna fly for me. I get 3 new posts per hour
Oster1 · M
@SW-User There definitely is a problem. 😊 Thank you.

UK is experiencing it. Nimbus posted earlier.
Oster1 · M
@4meAndyou Thank you! I looked for a complaint and didn’t see his reply. I just don’t understand. Last time, it was five weeks of problems and this has been going on for weeks again, this time. SW is the only site that does this. I have a high speed connection. It does the same at my office too.😊🌷
4meAndyou · F
@Oster1 Sorry. It might be due to the huge nor-easter off the coast.
Ambroseguy80 · 51-55, M
Hmmm. Not lately.
Ambroseguy80 · 51-55, M
@Oster1 you mean slowing SW down?
Oster1 · M
@Ambroseguy80 It just hangs up! I can’t get my pm’s, notifications or respond to others, it just is stalled and locked up.😊
Ambroseguy80 · 51-55, M
@Oster1 that’s bizarre my friend.

If you are in mid-Atlantic I imagine internet service is sporadic.
revenant · F
"dropped connection" I have experienced here
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
Gads, now even hitting "NEW" doesn't get you the newest posts.

It's the wild west!
