These speeds would have been considered pitiful in 1994, never mind 2024.
Your Grandma's WiFi is so bad the image is not loading for me :D
My 56k modem would get 15kbps. What exactly is going on with grandmas connection?

"Just read me out the source code. I'll compile it on my end"
I had this experience on a previous holiday as well. I'm talking single digits up and down. This year I brought the portable 4g router my partner bought me last Christmas and my speeds have been tolerable for work and casual gaming.
the speeds are wretched but you're a good lass/lad to suffer through it to help your nan.

At least they're allowing that connection to be made and not timing you out. That's the worst part about having internet like this.
What speeds are you getting?
EDIT: Just seen that there was an image attached to the post. Not sure if OP added it later or Thunder wasn't displaying it initially.
I added it retrospectively. For some reason, my phone decided to save it as a HEIC, so I had a lot of trouble uploading it.
