Internet traffic V1: The internet’s so slow today! V2: Yes – look at the time. They've just started work in America. V1: Ah, everything’s got busier. V2: That's it. There's just too much traffic. V1: Maybe I need a faster connection. V2: It really wouldn't make any difference. You just have to be patient. There’s a lot of traffic on the internet. Imagine lots of cars speeding up and down the internet superhighway. That’s how the information is sent around the internet – in little packets. You can think of them as little cars. And when there are too many cars – you get stuck in a traffic jam, or using a netword – ‘network congestion’. That’s the message you see sometimes, especially when you’re trying to listen to audio on the internet. The internet connection you have – whether it’s a dial-up, a leased line or a cable modem – doesn’t make any difference. However fast your connection is, once you’re out on the congested highway, you’re stuck. And once you’re stuck, you’re stuck. Even a sports car is useless in the middle of the traffic jam. But… you can help yourself.
