Its lightening fast for me too - Splinter worth checking that your Cache settings are correct, also try removing all cookies and trying again with a fresh set.

Not tonight we're not...  :(

Is anyone else experiencing very slow access to the site this evening [Fri 8th Sept]?

I don't have a high bandwidth connection, but I've got a 20:1 contention rate on my ADSL line, so it shouldn't be traffic interference @ my ISP & it is usually a lot quicker than it is this evening.

Any ideas?   ???

Anyone know why?

I know that a couple of weeks ago all internet access across most of Gloucestershire broke down for nearly a whole day - caused some serious disruption to communications... :(  It was apparently a problem with the telephone system.  ISPs based in the county were furious.

Could be a number of things, and primarily depends on your ISP - each ISP has a contention ratio which is basically the number of users per 'Hub' sat within your ISP's building - BT's contention is general 50:1 for home users and so if the rest of those 49 users are downloading movies, you'll suffer slightly!!

BT suffered a major node failure last week causing disruption for BT users accessing Pipex/Host Europe servers, such down times affect DNS servers all over the world and has a knock on effect to other ISPs that weren't initially affected!

Like you say the std contention ratio is 50:1, but as stated in my original msg on this subject, the service I subscribe to has a contention ratio of 20:1, so the problem shouldn't be traffic through my ISP.

Not necessarily, 20:1 is normally given to a business package and your average business are infact generally using more bandwidth than a home user on a 50:1 contention, therefore you would actually come off worse.

In other words, your 50 home users are very rarely going to be utilising a connection 24/7, a business how would generally ALL be online simultaneously.

Yeah, but I'm mostly on line in the evening & @ w/es, so I'm not competing for bandwidth with business users (in this country at least).
