it's sooo sloooooooooowwwwww...
Anyone know what's up this evening? My 600k BB is crawling. I'm lucky if I can download at more than about 3Kb/sec right now.
Is there a known issue in Hemel Hempstead? I can't believe this is down to contention...

Y'know, it's taken me this long to work out that "Emmw Emstid" in your profile actually means Hemel Hempstead. I just thought it was somewhere in Wales with an unpronoucable name.
My God I'm dumb sometimes!

I live in Poole, and sometimes in Southampton. How much further south do you want?
But we speak the Queen's english here, don't you know!
And as a token gesture to make it look like I'm at least trying to be on-topic, BB is just fine here.

there's been a whole rash of Cisco router upgrades due to a serious vulnerability being discovered.
Speed depends a lot on how many routers you're going thru, so say UK sites should be fine, but US and worldwide sites are pretty terrible.
As routers are being upgraded and rebooted traffic is directed thru fewer routers as there's less available to spread the load.
Not very well worded, but I hope that helps explain things a little.
see here for details.

An update - spoke to someone in faults this morning and we thought we'd fixed it with a re-boot of the modem, but no ... 'cable' light is coming on and off constantly.
When it's on I get connection speeds equivalent to a 56k modem or worse. The faults person put me through to cable modem support, where the tech ran the diagnostics several times and said he was getting 'some crazy readings' ... he has filled in a request for an engineer to come round!
In the meantime I can just about get on-line, but I may not be around much for a couple of days ...
