You can imagine the arguments I had with my provider . They said my connection is fine I said no. I told them to check and double check because some sites were not working. When this site works, it loads pretty fast. Today, as I said, it reminded me of dial-up

******* it the site is sllllllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[PG15]

Seriously? I'm having no problems whatsoever.

It's a happy place.

could this be a side effect of the DNS fiasco that happened when Pakistan blocked YouTube and the faked address was propagated along the internet?

From my observations over the last 48-72 hours, there have been no issues with Gateworld's IP Transit or server - the problems originate from other places - so sorry guys - Gateworld hasn't been running slow, but, the Internet has been running slow.

Since the cable thing under the ocean internet problems arise more often . You cannot blame us for asking Greg . I mean I test my connection and I have 16 megs, download from Microsoft with 16 megs again, and when I traceroute to gw I get timed out and huge ping . Obviously I am blaming the board .

[Greg]

Feel free to post the ping/traceroute here so we can see it and yell at the company responsible.

Everything gets screwed when I reach Dallas

It was working okay this morning, but its gone slow again. Its around 3pm here in the uk at the time of writing this.

I dont use my isps dns servers either, i use open dns for my internet needs. Is anyone else using them, and having the same problems?

Hey slow speeds = alot of people visiting which is good in a way

I've just tried to connect to the IP you posted from, and there's definatelly issues in the UK with Above.net - it's not GW or GW's provider's problem.

Maybe you should contact your ISP and complain of slow speeds to this site.
