If I had a dollar for every pixel in this image, I'd have 75 cents

When imgur says the image is loaded but 99% of the pixels are missing
inspiringandfunnyusernamecoolheh

It happens sometimes to a friend, he's on discord with us but can't load internet or steam because he's not connected to internet

Have you tried switching it off and then on again? I...will see myself out.

Oldest joke in IT and it's quite often a legitimate fix

Send a ping or something. There's a million things that could cause this.
reflectedsoundofundergroundspirits
Could very likely be a DNS issue. Or it could have LAN access but no route out to the web.

One ping only Vassili.

Literally every time it doesn't work I do a simple Google ping or tracert and by magic it just starts working again.

How do you ping?
BreakfastOfChampionsBacon
Open up command prompt and then type in "ping Google.com" or what ever site you want then press enter
RedBeardedTrucker
Yep, mine gets slow, then I do a speed test and it jumps back up to speed. Seems like our ISPs are throttling then speeding up for test.
MakinGreenWithIceCream
That's cable internet.

Explain this like I'm 5.
BreakfastOfChampionsBacon
My computer to Google: "hey you there", Google to my computer: "yeah bro". Pretty simple command line trouble shooting.
