Is the Forum running slow

Is the Forum running slower or is it me ?

Is it my PC or the worst broadband provider in the world . How would you find out ?

It takes from 30 seconds to nearly a minute to change posts on here, is Admin doing maintenance or something ? :_|

The Don has been with Orange and has sent his boys round to explain we are leaving them.

No further questions were asked. But as mentioned they are not reliable.

I use Orangebroad band & have no problem with them at all. Getting 6+Mb on a max 8Mb service. Norton 360 can be memory hungry & slow your PC down which is why Evans Elec. could be having probs. especially is your processor is less than 3Ghz.

Even a modest speed PC or Laptop, should have no problem in processing internet data, however

On the subject of internet speed, there are many consideration, such as:

1 Distance from exchange

2 Internet activity in the area concerned

3 ISP issues (Overall activity/demand/faults)

4 Connection issues at your installation

5 Time of the day (early evening for example)

6 And of course possible PC setup issues (Memory/Hard Drive)

7 And would you believe, a major news event can clog the internet (9/11 did)

Thanks guys, Orange are not as bad as they were , here , I think its mostly overcrowding . Between 5.00 and 7.00 it just refuses access to the net.

And often it just drops out , I can do a post on here, click the button to post it and the connection has gone, never happens after 2100hrs . But then it only costs

I gave up phoning Orange, its the dreaded call centre in some far flung country.

" Please to be getting this right, your first name is Derg , yes, is that right Mr. Evenings, vee still have no record of you "

" My second name is Echo Victor Alpha November Sierra. " " Oh I see there is echo on the line since November, Mr Evenings, I will transfer you to Technical Helpline"

AAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
