Yep... mine just sets there...

Steve · Jul 21, 2010, 14:27:26

I can get through on Three with mobile Safari

Aaron · Jul 21, 2010, 14:28:11

Yes, quite a few things are taking a while to load on my end too, even got booted off Quakenet IRC.

psp83 · Jul 21, 2010, 14:29:38

Any site that has google analytics (google-analytics.com) is taking ages to load aswell.

Joel · Jul 21, 2010, 14:30:56

EVERY site is slow for me, bar www.idnet.net and www.idnetters.co.uk

ODD? I mean, slower than dial-up slow.

jameshurrell · Jul 21, 2010, 14:32:06

Yes same slowness here.. although it's completely random as to which sites (or domain suffixes) are loading/not loading. I'm not using IDNET's DNS servers either.. (OpenDNS).

IDnet have reported a problem to BT, They say it seems to be a bandwidth/traffic issue.

Steve · Jul 21, 2010, 14:33:21

Oh dear!

Linx is causing issues.

Xylo report this :

QuoteLINX Routing Issues

Our monitoring has picked up some high latency and packet loss. This appears to be related to a problem at Linx.

We are investigating currently but only appears to be affecting the 224 peering LAN.

We are in contact with BT's network incidents team to try and identify the cause of the problem.

Updates to follow shortly.

You might want to change the subject of this post Steve so its more clear for other people as its nothing to do with my connection

DorsetBoy · Jul 21, 2010, 14:39:01

It is affecting multiple ISP's, next doors Orange BB is down to dial up too.

Joel · Jul 21, 2010, 14:40:28

faster now.. but not usual speed.

klipp · Jul 21, 2010, 14:42:35

Oh....

I wish I'd checked this forum. I've just spent half hour on the phone to IDNet complaining about my slow internet. They said there are no problems. Clearly this thread changes that.

I like to give challenges

klipp · Jul 21, 2010, 14:50:33

I get random bursts of speed and then back to slowness. Think I'll just go out and enjoy the sunshine and wait for this to fix itself lol.

Just come online a half hour ago and its like being stuck in treacle. Good job its a rest day in the Tour de France, can't have any slowdowns tomorrow with the most important stage of the race taking place.

Well here's a step into the twilight zone, during the outage my connection's gained wings.

Connection Speed    8128 kbps    448 kbps
Line Attenuation    29.0 db    17.0 db
Noise Margin    4.5 db    25 db

Up until now, unless there's a problem, my connection delivers 6.32 MB/s without fail, at peak or off peak. It might deviate by as much as 0.01 (seriously) but it's been that stable since this line was installed. So where's the extra half megabyte come from and is this an early warning sign of impending doom?
