Re: Performance Problems?
Also extremely slow for everything in North Manchester too. MSN appears to be working though, so I'm not sure if its the same problem as others are experiencing.

Re: Performance Problems?
Terrible here (ST17), tracerts read like horror novels and a couple of speed tests indicated i'm on a dialup, it's been gradually getting worse since the DNS problems a couple of weeks ago, tonight feels somewhat like an expected climax

Re: Performance Problems?
It was awful here this afternoon - BBC was about the only site that worked. It's fine now and I speedtested - 1.9 Mb - not bad for a 1 Mb connection!

Re: Performance Problems?
Hotmail is downloading attachments at 12 to 16 KB/sec, other stuff is downloading not much quicker, though my speed test tells me I am getting just under 4 MB when I tried it.
Another day, another raft of complaints about NTL, what a shambles of a company, utterly dreadful. I have e mails with attachments that are taking 10 minutes to open. Pathetic.
