Well it might be their computer if you don't take care of it certain programs can slow it way the heck down. I am fine for video's and what not.

The reason for these problems is as follows:

The datacenter in which we have the GMC servers is located in the US, and the connection between this datacenter and Europe is not one with a very high priority. For most European broadband ISP:s, this isn't a problem since they themselves have redundant bandwidth over the atlantic, and have chosen to use that to communicate with the networks that the GMC servers are using. For a few ISP:s however (including Telia in sweden, which I use at the moment), this connection isn't a priority (obviously their managers aren't guitar players wink.gif ). This means that whenever I or anyone else of you who are having problems get something sent to us from GMC, our data has to wait in line until a lot of other (higher priority) data has passed. That's why it's slow.

We do, of course, have a solution to this though (we are, after all, mighty super heroes), which will hopefully roll out in the coming weeks. So stay with us and stay tuned - change is coming!

YAAARRRGH! Why me!
I'm not sure about your last conclusion. An extensive investigation amongst the members of GMC indicates that ALL computer-related people plays guitar! Might be that Telia put the QoS hex on their customers so Telia-technicians get the videos in good speed themselves.

Yey! \o/
Thanks for caring to investigate the matter and giving a serious and plausible reason.

This is absolutely true!

I have been away on business for the last 2 days. We met with a customer (who plays bass and drums, and has a recording studio). With me was the account sales manager (Who has a strat and several acoustincs and a recording studio), and a new Sales Engineer I am training (who has a strat and several other guitars and a recording studio).

The worst of it was, I told the new guy I wanted a Jem because Pavel has got me lusting after them and the unspeakable son of a gun went out and bought one for himself last weekend!!!!!
