Slow Browsing: 18/6/06

Browsing is really, really slow at the moment, for the last 2 hours.

I've noticed these sites are super slow:


www.faceparty.co.uk

Even Google is taking about 15 seconds to do searches.

I'm in the North West London area.

Anyone else having issues?

Some pictures are not loading and even on this site, some of the logos don't load they just show an "X" or broken link.

Have you tried a different proxy? We're in East London/ Essex area and it's fine here.

Re: Show Browsing: 18/6/06

Both those sites took about 20 seconds to load for me, most others seem fine though.

I've been experiencing slow browsing here in SE London for the last few days. Google can take 15 seconds to load yet other sites are fine

Same here, still. My speeds for browsing are uber-slow. Downloads are really sluggish, too.
