Like treacle here in Stoke (which I believe is offshoot of Manchester).

Maybe the cables have melted in the heat

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

I'm getting pretty much 10mbit on the speed test from this site! but newshosting is useless.

[edit]

I fixed my problem by changing from port from 9000 - 8000 for Newshosting, speeds are alot better but very up and down.
