Hi,
Anyone else find that lately (the last several nights) that geekzone takes literally minutes to bring up each page.
I tried pinging it and that just times out - The web pages eventually come up - but man - soooo slow!
During the day its fine.

Its taken me about 5 minutes to log in and create this post.

Every other site I go to seems quick enough as far as I can see.

What's up geekzone?

It's most likely your ISP (which I won't name but I know). People get home, start their PCs, start downloads, etc...

Our average page load time (the time it takes for a page to be requested and your browser to completely show it, including ads), is five to six seconds.

Yep. I have monitors and alarms set, and follow performance very closely. We have good pipes from the Datacom datacentre to the world, so I would certainly say it's an ISP problem...

Been fine for me, i'd blame your ISP/telecom backhaul first. No problems with geekzone from my smokeping host.

Vodafone Broadband on the Wholesale Network is having a tantrum at the moment during the night, I have really noticed it with Geekzone, esp last night.
