Internet and computer issues

I'm not sure now if it is of the internet or my computer, but something isn't working.  I have 311 photos from Saturday that I can't load because the internet times out before it can load them.  I was so frustrated yesterday that I just gave up.  Hubby has turned my desktop off and I'm working from my iPad right one but I don't have photos on it...sigh... So please bear with me while we try to get this resolved.  I have a feeling that tonight hubby will load all my hoots onto an external hard drive and that will be the end of another desktop...sigh...
