I think the overarching problem is that somebody thought it was a great idea to give a child an Uzi. Children should not be given fully automatic firearms in general. I'm not going to argue whether or not children should be shooting guns in the first place, as I try to avoid those types of debate.

I don't think the problem is that we are giving young people guns. I think the problem is we are doing the whole "guns for everybody" thing incredibly wrong, and thus, these types of things happen. You'd also think that with the price of ammo these days, violent gun related crime would drop.

Update: I found my internet provider had a stupid data limit of 10 to 40 Gb every month. So I am stuck with the piss poor internet for hopefully not much longer.

One of the biggest problems is that it can take ~30 seconds to load a page. A second main problem of mine is that watching youtube videos or pages with lots of images become basically impossible to wait for a full load.

belkin routers are stuff, and the router may be the problem. however, it might also be a DNS problem.
use this, i used it and i changed my DNS according to its suggestions, and my internet has been just fine ever since.

Can I have some info on what a DNS is?

I have done all of that and nothing has changed. I think the problem is the Belkin (the routers are known for being stuffty, or so I have been told), but our family is barely able to scrape by, so any suggestions for a good wireless router for only 50 dollars would be great.

Recently we have switched from Charter internet to Hughsnet or whatever it is called. We have pulled out our Belkin router (which was known for slowing the whole system down in the past) and last week our download was a good 3 mb/s. Now our download is a meager 7 kb/s. Is there any way to fix this problem without contacting our provider? I know the forums aren't a great place to ask, but it is better than nothing.

If you weren't already an starfish when you entered the forums, it'll whittle you down to one none the less.
