Is your interweb playing up?

Mine is!

I thought my puter was going tits up so I pressed the button on my Maxtor one touch 750 GB (don't quote me - the one someone recommended to me here some time ago!) box, which I have no idea how to get stuff back out from but am happy it has backed up my whole system, 'cause it says it has!

All sites are sloooooooow - text is fair, but click on, or try to add a photo - forget it.

I've restarted my computer about 10 times - unplugged the router incase it was overheating - things are slightly better.

But am happy it's not me - wondering if it's a local exchange problem or a wider one - or maybe me after all?

Its OK here.

Dial 100 and ask for the operator. She might be able to help!

You may have a lot of programs running in the background. That can really slow things down.

Well, the Mother in law was watching X Factor, but that was about it

I had the same problem today, late morning and afternoon.

Perhaps all the Ingerland footie fans were on their forums/blogs.

Apparently our £120k p.w. guys were made to work hard for a win against a bunch of ex Russian federation part-timers.
