> I have a 100mb fibre line and I cannot load my twitter feed, wordpress admin, medium etc … is the internet getting even slower?— Craig Jamieson (@craigjamieson_) January 17, 2020

In frustration, I ranted on twitter about the internet slowing as I was struggling to post anything on my WordPress site, Twitter was not even loading the feed. I got a response saying that there are two breaks on the line to South Africa, so I’m not alone.

I know there are bigger problems in the world, but it’s frustrating. However, I don’t like to complain.
