We want our members to have a simple, quick, ad-free way to estimate the internet speed that their ISP is providing. What can I do if I'm not getting the speed I pay for? If results from FAST.com and other internet speed tests often show less speed than you have paid for, you can ask your ISP about the results. Change this one setting to get faster internet speeds. Changing the DNS settings on an Android gadget is harder than on an iPhone but you can download and use a free but ad-supported app. Google drive os x yosemite.
For about one hour today, web users noticed two odd things on most major news sites. First, the pages loaded faster. Second, there were no ads.
That's because Doubleclick for Publishers (DFP), a Google advertising service, was hit by intermittent outages.
DFP is a service that allows publishers to manage their ad operations and is used by most subscribers as an ad server. That is, the ads originate from a Google machine rather than the servers that the publisher's own content comes from. As the ads disappeared, you could see just how pervasive Google is in online advertising.
Everyday users—and the occasional website—rejoiced, though most publishers were less pleased at the loss of revenue from the outage. The fourth quarter of the year is traditionally the strongest for publishers in terms of ad sales, so extended outages cost them money in ads they're unable to serve.

The outages affected publishers 'globally, across their video, display, native and mobile formats,' Google says in a statement. 'Our team has worked quickly to fix the software bug and DFP is now back up and running, so our publisher partners can return to funding their content.' Google chrome windows ce 6 0 download.
We took some screen shots during the outages, to compare what various news websites look like with and without ads.
