on bt internet,safari,apple mac,in London,running slow now,very slow,checked other sites all ok so not me

Very slow here today, it's the first time UHM has been like this for me.

Firefox 5, ISP = IDNet.

At the very least the forum needs re-booting.

Is any one on to the provider.

Following my slow service last night I'm pleased to say it's back to normal today. I'm on IE with Karoo from KCOM.

Been virtually unusable today.

It's just woke up again.

Still excellent here at present.

To me there are only 3 common denominators, the server, the server host and the main connection/backbone from the server.

It was actually quite interesting this morning with 4 computers running side by side.

It became obvious that the page wasn't loading, as when I made a post, it was taking forever to do the biz, but I could read the post on the other computers, even though it was still being sent.

I could also reply to post 1, which was still being sent, and post 2, would then stick (freeze) and I could see both posts on No 3-4 computers.

Anyone confused yet.

Go Directly to Jail, Do Not Pass GO and certainly don't collect £200.

I can see what you mean because I had the laptop running on a 3 Dongle and the PC running on Plusnet. The PC was freezing and failing to load but the laptop was getting through straight away, so I was going to put it down to ISP BUT all other forums and pages were loading like lightening.
It is OK at the moment but had about 3½ hours of poor loading and so I left a few bits undone as I could not be sure they would upload.

I texted Chez when I did the tracert at noon and assume he knows about it. Probably he rebooted the server when he got the chance.

I don't know what the problem is.

The server has not been rebooted, so it cannot be that- unless it just fixes itself magically.

I'll open a ticket with support and see what they say.

Last time they said I have to contact them when the server is going slow, but this is impossible if I am at work

That reminds of an episode of Only Fools and Horses when Grandad Trotter was watching two TVs. Someone asked him why he was watching two TVs and he replied, ''Because the other one is being repaired''

For the record, the Vodafone ad was on all the time we were have problems

Still excelkent here. This is from my blackberry on orange which was also terrrible last night

Gone again. about 16:20.
