It's Virgin Media mate. We have the same problem at work. It seems there is a delay on one of the hops across to where the server is hosted.

If you can mate, try it after midnight. You'll find it runs like lightening then. Thats why I wait until after then when I'm on nights to start posting properly.

DBcoup

Well its that bad now you both reply'd to my last message before my page had opened to say i left it!

Matt

Feck me! Well I can assure you it's nothing on the server:

Slower than as low thing for me atm matt...taking over a minute to open pages on here...all other sites are fine....

Matt

hmm, not sure Daz notsure.gif

dodger

it's running ok for me, pages opeining up just a fast, nothing changed this end

Mark_Dj

It's been slow my end for a week or 2 now. I am with Virgin media also. At first I thought it was my pc playing up til I seen this post

Matt

I'm at work at the minute, and it's running nice and fast now, and as already said, we're with Virgin.

Mark_Dj

It's actually running fine this moring Matt. The last time it ran slow for me was yesterday, as I have this site as my home page, and I had to look over at my modem to check I was switched on.

Matt

What times do you find it running slow? If we can get enough information together, I can have a word with the datacentre and see if there is anything they can do.

Daz

super fast again now matt....its was slow for me at around 1am this morning....
