It is actaully more responsivethan my Nildram ADSL at home.

I really need to do something about that.

[tiggerai]

It's horrendous at my work too... Hanging and the like... I'm glad it's not just me tbh.

I'll do a tracer tomorrow

[peterb]

The delays (for me) seem to be those **** adservers, particularly fluent.ltd.uk. Blocking them at the router helps a little bit (and gets rid of that annoying one that squashes up the message box when posting) as well as making the forums more readable.

Can you post a tracert please?

[MrP]

hi,

would love to post a tracert from work, but for some reason our network bods have blocked stuff like that and even ping

however, i can confirm that it is still rather slow, some pages seem to fly down, others take 10-15 seconds to appear.

it does not seen to be 1 item thats stopping it as the page will slowly keep loading.

regards

[tiggerai]

It was OK this morning, but it's got terrible again this afternoon, some pages just hang after loading the toolbar at the top (i.e - user CP, logout etc).

Some don't load at all... or they load but the quick reply box takes ages to appear... so I'm with the peeps accusing the adservers

I've done a tracer, but there isn't any useful info as all I'm getting are the 3 stars...
