Has this website slowed down?

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed this site has become unusably unresponsive?
Not slow as such - in the last day or two I have found it just waits for ages before finally loading the page.
I thought it was just me, because I was working wirelessly downstairs, but I'm back in the office and it's the same.

I have noticed the same, but I wouldn't call it unusably unresponsive.
It is a bit slow, but there could be various reasons for it.

Same here, its been like dial-up all over again. I use sky as my ISP, what's everybody else on!. The reason i ask is that I have asked a couple of friends to check out the site for me, one uses Virgin and the other BT, and they say the site is fine. Maybe its just a Sky thing!.

The feeling is that probably this is to do with a particular ISP or a particular path from user to server, but it is being currently investigated.

I'm not havong a problem here, and others are not, so it is specific to some users.

In a general sense, if your broadband slows suddenly to a crawl, try rebooting the router, which will then resynchronise with the exchange.

If you want to check the speed of your broadband, the www.speedtest.net is a good way to do so.
