Whether it is due to a large databse of users or some other reason, hotmail fails to deliver in terms of speed and connectivity these days.Most of the time the hotmail server gives problems. Connectivity is either slow or you can ask what connectivity. Even the msn messenger has its connectivity problem. Each time I go to hotmail, I have my regrets.It takes a pathetically long time to just open any mail.Nowadays apparently technology has improved, but hotmail seems to be just content with what servers they have.As long as there r users for them, who gives a damn seems to be their policy.
