Im on virgin & its been slow for days.. takes ages to load the forum - bit quicker to load threads once connected.

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

XEntity, Egg and chaotic, you're all on Virgin then.

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

This is what happened the last couple of nights, it slows to a half in the day and speeds up late at night.

lol thats virgin for ya , not as good as when they were ntl 

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

Even being in NZ it is fast for me

Well I think we have established it's something to do with Virgin routing, working fine here at work
