Been with Virgin for years and not had a problem with speed.

Try and clean up the drive on your pc & give it a defragment.

The more you have saved on your pc the slower it will run.

Thanks for the reassurence. My laptop was given a  2 1/2 hour overhaul last week and works as good as the day it was purchased. Peace of mind thats all, but it is a pain.

I had the same problem. The posts with a lot of replies took ages to come up.
I thought I had picked up some spy ware that was slowing things down.
Seems ok today though. Dai

Thought it was my wireless router playing up (it's old). Apparently not. I've found pages with lots of pics to be slow too.

I’m no Computer Tech but I believe it may have something to do with the location of the Host Server and the number of routers between your local machine and each router in the route and the milliseconds between each segment. Traffic to the server may be routed to a number of other servers before reaching the host.

Anyone on the tech side of the forum could answer if this forum is on a Dedicated Server if it is, then it blows the above explanation of why we are getting a slow response.

Basically is' not our computers or ISP's. But then again I'm only a window cleaner not a computer nerd.

indeed, i wouldnt think the traffic ( bandwidth ) on this site would come close to a dedicated server
