Title: Is it me or is Tek running quite slow
Post by: XEntity on February 02, 2011, 19:35:36 PM: Noticed it over the past few days? But other websites seem fine?
Title: Re: Is it me or is Tek running quite slow
Post by: Goblin on February 02, 2011, 19:42:35 PM: Nope, no problem here.
Title: Re: Is it me or is Tek running quite slow
Post by: TheMallrat on February 02, 2011, 19:52:15 PM: Not had any problems here either
Title: Re: Is it me or is Tek running quite slow
Post by: XEntity on February 02, 2011, 19:55:44 PM: Hmmmm, it's taking about 5-10 seconds to go between pages?!?!

Might try a different DNS see if it is Virgins DNS going slow.... pulls at straws.....
Title: Re: Is it me or is Tek running quite slow
Post by: soopahfly on February 02, 2011, 20:24:08 PM: I've experience a whole raft of ISP problems over the last few days. Not just here, but all over the place.
Title: Re: Is it me or is Tek running quite slow
Post by: Clock'd 0Ne on February 02, 2011, 20:41:12 PM: Bacon was complaining he could barely connect the other day, but I've had no problems at all. It's on GoDaddy's European server if that makes any difference to anyone.

Post by: Mongoose on February 02, 2011, 20:57:46 PM: funny, this is one of the few sites I'm NOT having trouble with!
Title: Re: Is it me or is Tek running quite slow
Post by: bear on February 02, 2011, 21:17:37 PM: No problem here, this is not Egypt :)
Title: Re: Is it me or is Tek running quite slow
Post by: XEntity on February 02, 2011, 21:23:27 PM: Maybe it's just the internet running out of IPv4 addresses :P

Tried re-booting all kit, connecting to the main router directly, changing the DNS, still going slow, only think I haven't tried so far is a different computer, or re-booting this one, but other sites seem fine hmmmm

Post by: chaotic_uk on February 02, 2011, 21:29:31 PM: i am getting this place like a snail is powering the gen that runs the server lol , local virgin service has no probs according to their site
Title: Re: Is it me or is Tek running quite slow
Post by: soopahfly on February 02, 2011, 21:41:45 PM: This site is running great for me, but most others are poor.
I've even tried both Google and OpenDNS servers. :tinhat:

What sort of speeds are you getting reported at the bottom of the site?
Title: Re: Is it me or is Tek running quite slow
Post by: XEntity on February 02, 2011, 21:50:51 PM: Maybe it's Virgin then? I've tried a reboot and another laptop as well, just loading the help page took about 7 seconds!!

Tried pinging the likes of google vs here and no difference in latency.

Browsing the site keeps saying 'waiting for www.tekforums.net (http://www.tekforums.net)'

Looks like I'll have to deal with it until VM sort it out :)

Post by: Eggtastico on February 02, 2011, 22:11:29 PM: Im on virgin & its been slow for days.. takes ages to load the forum - bit quicker to load threads once connected.
Title: Re: Is it me or is Tek running quite slow
Post by: XEntity on February 02, 2011, 22:12:07 PM: Taken from domaintools.com, and I visited the 3 examples and getting a similar speed issue on them:

There are 2,476 domains hosted on this IP address.
Here are a few of them:

1. 1001prica.com
2. 101-bd.com
3. 10pfriday.com

Post by: Clock'd 0Ne on February 02, 2011, 22:12:34 PM: XEntity, Egg and chaotic, you're all on Virgin then.

Is there anyone experiencing problems that's with a different ISP? Raise hands please.

Title: Re: Is it me or is Tek running quite slow
Post by: chaotic_uk on February 03, 2011, 02:37:55 AM: lol thats virgin for ya , not as good as when they were ntl ;D
Title: Re: Is it me or is Tek running quite slow
Post by: Mardoni on February 03, 2011, 02:45:18 AM: Virgin's network has been a little flakey over the past couple of days, I think it's got a lot to do with the introduction of the 30mb service and the continued switch on of 100mb.

Mine seemed to smooth out after a 36 hour period of drop-outs and routing issues. Now my latency is sub 10ms to the bbc sites and everything is loading like it's local on 50mb :)

So that's Reading to Holland and back ? I'm assuming the forums are hosted in the UK looking at Egg's routing !

Just need to see if they will do anything for the 10Meg!

Title: Re: Is it me or is Tek running quite slow
Post by: XEntity on February 08, 2011, 17:38:14 PM: My experience on Virgin (cable) has been great, normally always get the advertised speed, except when throttled, was on 20Meg and never noticed the throttling. Like I said before browsing has been fine except on Tek and appears the PlayStation downloads are running slow as well, but that could just be Sony!

Virgin DSL wasn't as good, but that was in a little village miles from anywhere!
Title: Re: Is it me or is Tek running quite slow
Post by: soopahfly on February 08, 2011, 17:42:09 PM: PSN downloads are ALWAYS slow.

Sony's servers can't handle the capacity. Xbox servers are fine though :D

I'm with virgin and it's been very slow for a few weeks, it's now back to normal for me also.

Post by: bear on February 16, 2011, 07:35:33 AM: Yesterday evening and today have been slow for me, other sites are fine but this one is slow. Tracerroute looks the same (9 hops and good times) though and responds quickly.

Are you on Virgin as well by any chance?

Yes, on the big fiddy too :-\

Post by: Mongoose on February 16, 2011, 21:03:15 PM: I've seen intermittent fart-arsing around last night (JANET) and this morning (Plusnet ADSL, then JANET), so it's not entirely confined to Virgin.

Mind our JANET connection was a bit ropey in general this morning so that bit may not have been Tek's fault.

Post by: XEntity on February 16, 2011, 23:00:52 PM: Running fine for me at the moment, but here is mine, I'll post again when it goes slow again, but seems that it is basically Virgin and expect escalating anything to them will get you nowhere!

That's exactly what it's like most of the time, although once, a year or two ago now, I managed to get patched through to a woman that knew her stuff, remotely logged in to my box and sorted out the issue, think it was to do with TV on demand at the time. I expect there are the rare people there who actually know stuff!

I expect getting through to someone who actually knows about the routing for webpages is non existant though

Post by: Clock'd 0Ne on February 23, 2011, 00:23:21 AM: I got a fairly standard "check your users browser versions and different machines" type response, so I've passed on your info there eggtastico and XEntity, hopefully I'll get a better response back.
Title: Re: Is it me or is Tek running quite slow
Post by: neXus on February 23, 2011, 02:43:29 AM: I said that to you about somsething else hey. Tech support.

Yeah they get the average joe who just pulled out their cable in error ringing up etc and you got to go through the basics. I do that with clients with site issues all the time. Ask them to CTRL F5 etc.
BUT I would just like two levels of support with big companies like this. You ring up - hey I am a web developer I need 2nd tier support to help with some IP routing issues I have picked up causing speed issues.
"Sure sir, I will put you through" Even if it is another 5 minutes on hold speaking to someone of sense to get my issues solved.

I would be much happier rather then spending 15 minutes telling the person everything they say you have already done and more.

Post by: XEntity on February 23, 2011, 19:16:28 PM: Maybe you just need to explain that it is an intermittent issue, I think this is a different issue to the virgin issues, as that was just slow, this is just SMF not connecting to the database?

Post by: Clock'd 0Ne on February 23, 2011, 22:10:00 PM: A friend of mine has the same issue with his website, intermittent dropouts and hosting server not connecting with the database server.

Frankly it's not good enough and I'm going to give them both barells now (using your screenshot too bear, that's useful).

They've either moved it and things will be awesome now, or it's been the height of their problems. Either way they've had some verbal from me. I never have these kind of problems on their US servers, wish I'd stuck with those now! I'll ask them to swap it if it continues.

Post by: neXus on February 26, 2011, 00:45:06 AM: From what Nige has been told and what we have worked out....

Despite the first level support talking crap as any support does, it seems with the new EU GoDaddy they have been shoving people onto their servers past the point of stable operations and over the last few weeks its got slower and then finally given out basically.
They only just now sorting new servers and moving people over etc.

Not the first time any company has had this, Even the CMS I used had to do a big migration to a whole new Data Centre because the old one was past capacity.

Money over user satisfaction with these people at the end of the day.

Title: Re: Is it me or is Tek running quite slow
Post by: Clock'd 0Ne on February 27, 2011, 12:48:04 PM: I'll give them credit, as soon as they escalated it they dealt with it quickly, they admitted there was a problem with the routing and migrated the server within 24 hours, then they gave me a 10% off voucher in thanks for my 'patience'. Can't really complain at that type of response, it's just a shame it took so long to escalate beyond the monkey support.

Fine here as well, though I never experienced many problems on the old server either.

I get exactly the same but it seems to be a part of a wider issue im having with my Virgin connection. Lots of pages saying "page cannot be found" and needing a few restarts before displaying.
