Un po' strano

*it seems like our internet connection isn't very good
*you do not need to say "I guess so", it makes it sound less natural

Non naturale

It would be more natural to say "Sorry, my screen froze suddenly. It seems like our internet connection isn't very good.
As an answer I would say "That's ok." But I wouldn't say I guess because it seems a bit rude. I would add "I'm sure that's what happened" to reassure the person you are talking to.

Thank you for your detailed explanation.
By the way, in what situation do you use "I guess so"?

Non naturale

@Kohaku589 when someone asks you a question and you agree, but not strongly. As in "So your favorite food is pizza?" You can say "I guess so, but I also like cheeseburgers". Or when you reluctantly agree like "Can you lend me 20 dollars?", "I guess so"

Thank you for answering. I understand the use of "I guess so" better.

If I like pizza the best, how can I respond to your question?

@Kohaku589 if it is your favorite I would say "Yes! I love pizza!"

Un po' strano

You could also say:

A: Sorry for the inconvenience, my screen suddenly froze and it seems like the internet connection is not running properly.

or

A: I am sorry, it seems like our internet connection is not very good so my screen suddenly froze.

or

A: Sorry, it seems like our internet connection is quite lag so my screen suddenly froze.
*lag in this sentence means slow*

or

A: Sorry my screen suddenly froze and it seems like our internet connection is quite lag.

@Kohaku589 I almost forgot your B is a little bit wrong. It should be:

B: That's okay.

You must not use "I guess" in this kind of conversation. "That's okay" is already fine. You can't always use"I guess so". It depends on what will A will say.
