Maybe it will be your turn this week.
This area has been on a transparent proxy for some time now, I'm surprised that you are on the Baguley proxy as I thought most of Gtr. Manchester was on a transparent proxy.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I had noticed I had now got bagu in my ident rather than manc.
I've no idea when or why that happened.
Your right, my d/l speeds have been as good as always. 245/260k on a 2mb line. Never had any complaints there, binary and http.
I've still an 81.xxx.xx.xxx IP addy as always - just tried a cold restart there (STB) and released IP etc. No different.
Wish someone would plug the hamster back in. It's like trawling through sludge here right now. I'm getting Firefox's dreaded red dots instead of images now and allsorts.
Bah.

Or possibly realtive to the poor one before it.
I'm under no illusions of course.
secretly hopes for speed upgrade though
