I am finding the board very slow the last few days. In fact often pages are timing out when I try to open them.

No change this end still on the old dial up...

There have been a number of changes made to the software recently. I've noticed a few times when the boards won't open and I'm on broadband.

It should settle down...

You still not got broadband yet? Have you checked out Virgin? No contract and it works through your phone line...

Take Care

J, the local exchange won't take broadband, it is not due to be upgraded until August lol... so no one round here has broadband (even BT customers lol) unless they have cable and I am not paying a couple of hundred for Comtel to dig up my lawn!

NTL installed cable for us for free.....and they didn't need to dig up the lawn!

[Holbrook]

That might be true but the nearest main cable to us is on the opposite side of the lane... lol... and the Telephone wires are air borne from a pole! They just ran the main cables up each road and left it like that, you pay to have your house connected, unless you are lucky enough to buy a house already connected....Same with the gas, when it came into the village. Cost me £350 to be put on the main.

So move :D :p
I'm on dial-up and haven't noticed any problems with speed - I guess its another oddity of the net :)

You lend me £200,000 without interest and I will ;)

[kater]

It will take a few days to sort out the wire from my private Caymans account :D Or would you prefer cash? :)

[Miriamele]

No problems with speed here. In fact this is one of the few sites I can always count on to be fast and work without problems.

You must just be weird, Holbrook. :D

Poor Hol, so misunderstood...

Our cables are the same... they run under the telephone wires (only the rich suburbs get them buried underground) but the fat cables are great highways for possums. I have to get a service man out every six months to reconnect the thing. We either have very fat possums or the connections that are nice and high on the west side of the house spend half of each day being fried by the sun and eventually melt.

I haven't noticed a slow down. Try running ad aware or a spyware remover. That's the most likely cause of slow computers online.
