EDIT:
As of 10:44 AM the next morning it's Monday - NO PROMISES here because it's a public holiday - but Internet seems to be A SMIDGE more stable but considering i was organizing datasets and prepping for future lora training AND making more models last night -- it'll take me a hot minute between the new loras, the new models and still all teh new character loras i gotta finish training.
REEDIT:
It's 22:20 Monday evening.
The internet is still having a temper tantrum.
It's "Lost it's own braincells"
IT goes from "I CAN VIEW CIVITAI SOMETIMES" to "Youtube is fine" to - "Metservice won't load but Accuweather will"
Put it this way the new loras i put out today took me 20 minutes to upload images.
XD 10mbps upload ... in 2025 i'm sure there's people who WOULD LOVE TO STILL HAVE THIS SPEED but i'm on fibre and get an AVERAGE of 100mbps + for uploads even if i'm on gigabit they don't allow me to get the 1/1 speed our cabling can handle...
WHY? .. (*i'm joking in this next sentence please don't get mad) J A F A. (Just another F*CKING Aucklander .. it's a running NZ joke that was Gen X/baby boomers making that up when i first moved here, it's also applied to aussies and americans... soi i'm one too XD) -- ITS AUCKLAND (kidding) i'm paying for YOUR ROADS (ok yea that's true but still lmao) -- IM PAYING FOR YOUR CABLES (that's not true lol)
Aka: yes technically i'm still paying "LEVIES" or "TAXES" for north island roads despite living in the south island but no i'm not paying MORE for internet just for auckland to have "BETTER" internet -- Where I live got the cabling laid first lol.
Yahoy! It is now Sunday October 25 at 9:30ish pm by the time i'm writing this (ok it's closer to 9:45 i'm sorry shhht).
THIS IS NOT a "Omfg i'm leaving Civitai"....
This is not "Omfg i burned myself out i'm taking months off"
No, as many of you whom are ALSO on this site in New Zealand are suffering the same issue as me:
Internet Death.
Yes, my fibre internet connection here in the good old south is now acting like 2010 internet.
That's right.
I got RED on voice chat for Discord.
I COULD BARELY UPLOAD 10mb worth of AI pics...
Why? - Mother Nature had a temper tantrum. I could blame politics, I could LITERALLY attempt to play the OpenAI Sora2 card--
But no...
It's the...
If Dunedin is getting 75F or warmer before December --
It's severe weather cycle year!
not that we were the ONLY ones to have this happen, but if you look at Chorus NZ's outage map you'll see a wee spot of Dunners STILL has fibre outage. (Weirdly not me.)
I HAVE trained loras today, but my connection speed because i think everyone's watching movies and we havent' reset the modem in a while -- I'll wait a couple days. I mean gosh I had what 2mb/s upload speed and 10-20mbps MAXIMUM DOWNLOAD?
Fyi: My average at my house (and i live with my parents who pay for my internet) is usually with my PoE connection about 300+ MBPS. You'd be lucky if i can even play FFXIV right now lol. And i'm wired via the Power over Ethernet cable right now, and i'm still getting 2000's internet speeds!
