Forum on a Go-Slow?

The forum has been running incredibly slowly for me for the last few days; it is patchy but sometimes freezes completely halfway through loading a thread while advising โ€˜waiting for ____://forum…’

No other site I use seems to be affected; anybody else noticed any change? :confused:

Tsch – hopeless, I very much doubt!:) We can only speak from our personal experience but why not make some initial enquiries of a couple of other providers just to confirm that I am not talking out of my *****? I have had no problems with Sky, with whom I have been for a while and I hear goodish reports about Talk Talk. Or Tesco, perhaps. Good luck!:)

See what I mean about being hopeless! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Why was it that the only options for my e-mail addresses had to end with โ€˜@btinternet.comโ€™? :confused:

The provider of your internet doesn’t affect your email address. I’ve had three providers in the last 4 years, but have never needed to change email addresses. The broadband provider simply connects you to the internet, that’s all.

I would get another provider but canโ€™t face changing work / home e-mail addresses!

Plus until a couple of months ago it was working brilliantly and since I live in quite a small village Iโ€™m not sure how well another provider would provide (wouldnโ€™t they still need to use BT cables anyway)? Iโ€™m pretty technically minded but a bit hopeless when it comes to internet, e-mail and TV / video (hence the TV thread)!

It must be driving you nuts Warren, dump BT and get another provider.

I take it you have given your comp a squirt of WD 40?. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Anybody still having problems with BT broadband and the forum?

My broadband keeps dropping-out (I have to reconnect constantly) but the forum speed is generally a lot better.

Iโ€™m going to have a bitch to BT, if I can find a human-being to rant at; I donโ€™t see why I should have to pay for this level of service! ๐Ÿ˜ก

We are just going to have to live with the fact that all the advantages of the internet come with all the disadvantages………;)

They’re probably tying the line up by remote diagnostic tests of customers’ equipment to make sure all is working snooping on your connected equipment….
