Anyone else finding the net unusually sluggish today?

[David Baxter PhD]

I don't mean just here. I mean in accessing sites in general. For me, everything is sluggish this morning.

I'm wondering if the rapid thread of that downadup vorus is starting to impact on net connections...

 

[sister-ray]

the net is very slow today, my birds forums are taking ages to load as well and sending emails was slow today aswell.

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Yes... that's my experience... it's like the pipelines are clogged.

I remember this happening in 2004 (?) when there were a couple of very widespread viruses that were sending out huge quantities of emails and basically dragging down net performance for everyone.

 

[sister-ray]

yes i remember a couple of times when the nets been slow due to viruses, wasnt one called code red or something like that?

 

[ladylore]

It's slow here too.

I heard something on the news a few months back that some internet companies were going to slow down the speed of the net during certain hours.

I don't know how true that is but I was assuming it may be a part of why the net is slowing down.

Yes, very slow here. I am glad it is not just me as I am not very good at manipulating the computer for virus scan and cleanup. I would like to do more but I just find it so confusing trying to follow the directions. I have automatic updates and scan and I did do an additional one. When I have time I will try again. Mari

 

[Halo]

Yes, slow for me too.

 

[boi]

yeah its slow for me too. funny its slow for everyone...

 

[Jazzey]

Yes, but for me, it seems to only be this site...

 

[Daniel E.]

Ditto. In the last 24 hours, this site has been much slower than usual. I thought it was due to the apparently ongoing issues with the hosting company.

I haven't noticed such a difference at other sites. But I'm in America, of course
