    Posted: June 01 2006 at 09:58
As of last night (31st May) loading of pages & posting on this site seems to have become very slow & often freezes. I don't seem to have thisproblem on other sites & have run all my antivirus & spyware programs. The problem is still apparent this morning (1st June).
Is anyone else experiencing problems?

Oh, by the way, where has "abuse" thread disappeared? - used to make interesting night time reading lately...

M@x has checked things out, and says no problems at his end.

I wonder if it was some sort of transatlantic issue.Confused

I had the same issues as well.  Index page loaded fine, but The Velvet Room was very slow loading!

It's all good again now, I'm happy!  I have enough problems anyhow (which are ISP related) whereby when I click to post my message, it comes to a complete halt...

Which ISP are you using Tony?  I find Tiscali very hit and miss.  They did some maintenance the other week and posted it on the Tiscali website.  My whole Internet went down and I was lucky enough to be able to get online for about 10 minutes to check the Tiscali website.  Then it died again.  But I had to change my DNS settings again, it's very frustrating!

Tony, you seem to be playing similar stuff to Jody!

I find customer services much improved these days, no longer the 30 min wait. Yesterday, after the press this button if you want to stuff, I got through instantly!

Yes-to a call centre in India.
Try getting an answer to a specific question!


Me:"Hi.I'd just like to know if there any problems affecting the connection in the Bolton area"
NTL:" what operating system are you using?"

10 mins later
Me:" Please I just want to know if there any problems affecting...etc......

Let's face it, noone in India would know where Bolton was, I'm not sure myself.
NTL technical services aren't too bad, they sorted out my connection problems on my new PC (mind you, they were caused by their installation program not working on XP in the first place). The only problem is they have to assume everyone is a technical idiot so they tell you things like "click on Start and Run then type C for Charlie, M for Mother and D for Dog".

Oh, btw Tony, NTL have a web site that shows the status of any current service problems. I don't have the URL here but if you want it, pm me and I'll send it to you when I get home.
