Ugh.

It's running like a bag o' spanners.

I'm on 1meg ntl wideband and it feels like 56k.

I'm in Stockport
(cheadle heath, shhh but don't tell anyone)

I've tried a tip from one of the stickied threads in this forum, using the IP for Imperial College 155.198.20.20 for the DNS info.

At first, it seemed to be rocket fast, and I sat here all excited like, but after 5 or 6 page refreshes of another forum, it began to crawl again, often not displaying all the images (red cross hell)

So, what to do? I've tried lots of proxies in the past, but like the Imperial one, they seem great at first, but soon die a death.

Also, remember the Internet Explorer issue of it slowly displaying images, or not at all, is this still an issue, did they ever resolve that?

Anyone know?
Anyone care?!

I use Avant Browser, which is a plug-in/front end for IE, and don't fancy changing it, bah.
