Re: Nottingham internet super slow and question about proxies
if it is the proxies get the list of robin walkers site and choose another, doesnt fix the problem but is a workaround. Then after a few days try going back to normal and see if the problem is resolved.
This only affects website's if you seeing slowness in other things like email and ftp then it isnt a web proxy issue.

Re: Nottingham internet super slow and question about proxies
All fine on Cache 8.
Now, here's one of these silly questions I haven't had to ask for a long time - what's all this about Basford all of a sudden?

Re: Nottingham internet super slow and question about proxies
They are all pretty much as good as each other - try and pick a local one if possible.
