I would say constantly, but that's not quite right. Both my son's and my computer use the same wireless connection, and we have to arrive at mutual agreement to shut it off.
I keep thinking that it's the RAM on his two devices (laptop/smartphone) that draws/sucks so much of the connectivity, but that sets aside the problems we have almost always had with our carrier overall and being on the far side of a hill.
The flickering lines at the top of the screen advise me things may take awhile. Sometimes, it posts; sometimes not.Because I need to turn away to do work on my business computer, I may not know if I have posted duplicate messages.
So, let's try this, again. One, two, three... Post, dang it!
