Slooow BB
Is anyone else in SE London getting slow browsing tonight?
Did anyone have to reboot their stb tonight?
Also, is the speedtest on the .co.uk front page dead atm or is it just me?

I'm down on the South Coast just along from Portsmouth and BB seems to have died.I couldn't get to any web pages at all for the last hour despite rebooting the STB twice.I've had to give up and resort to GULP.......dial up.At the moment it's faster than my 150k connection.
Does anyone know where the service status section has gone?I can't even check if there is a local or general problem.
Jeez this is like wading through treacle.I may give up until tomorrow am.
Incog.

On internet explorer, go to internet options, the connection tab click the LAN settings buttons fill in the boxes near the bottom.
For mozilla go to options and connections/proxies.

Click on Tools, then Internet Options.
Select the Connections tab at the top.
Click the LAN Settings button.
Put a tick in the bottom option and enter your proxy info, then click OK.

Re: Slooow BB
I found the only way to get off AOL dial up and back on BB was to use a new DNS (provided by Jon over on .com)
its :158.152.1.43
