World Cup slowing internet?

Download speed is half normal rate today. Anything to do with World Cup mania?

As this time of day I wouldn't have thought so , even during the games I'd be suspicious as well as it's all on terrestrial TV when most people are not working.

I thought yesterday how well Idnet were doing with the world cup as I had not noticed any problems and at that time there were no reports of issues on the forum.

Is a World Cup some geological feature I've not previously heard about?

The problems will surface when England get to the later stages...  Oh, wait...

Speeds fine here, and has been for ages now. No issues for months. There were thunderstorms last night in some areas so that's a possibility if it caused your modem to have a noise event or you had a brief power outage.

ok here too speed wise but have had a few drops this last week and one just about 10 mins ago

That could be storms, your router, the line anything really. No drops here at all as far as I can tell. FTTC modems been up well over a month solid since my line went batty one afternoon and there was a cable fault. The only thing I have done since is upgrade my routers firmware. which only interrupts the PPP session, which is why I like separate modem and routers

It does not apply to us in Wales Clive, well at least not since 1958. Come on Trevor Ford, bang them in and show the English how to do it.

Still the fastest goal ever!

I've only seen the goal highlights, but in comparison to the previous game, I will say... I'm shocked. They actual played football, and not "acting out injuries and pushing people over". So a great game IMO.
