Slow in Scunthorpe, well browsing is but uTorrent is maxing out at over 1.1 MB/S. Guess it is just mainly browsing that is affected.

Angry Re: Slow in...well a snail can go faster

Email is so slow in Derby this morning - connecting, receive and send - I'm actually attaching all my outgoing emails to a passing snail!

Getting around 350 kbps on a 10 mb connection according to the ntlhell speed test so this slowdown seems to affecting a lot of us then!

Unhappy Re: Slow in...well a snail can go faster

Seems to be a big network problem as I am in work and we are having intermittent slow downs for some of our services to the USA as well as the UK
