Snail slow !!!

I have done some basic tests.....

The server is in america - More IP hops = Slower connection.
Average 480 millisecond per packet average.
This doesnt include the server response times
Pinging of BBC.co.uk gives us 10 times quicker connection @ 48 milliseconds average
(This server is in england)


Scoobynet IP and Passionford IP address are the same 67.201.17.106
Whilst this may not be a speed issue in itself, you have at least 2 very busy websites being served through the same portal and it is likely there is sharing of servers, routers and/or database connections.
I havent checked if any other of the many IB sites are the same.



I wont mention the search engine bots that have been given free access or the huge amount of adverts or the duplication of adverts on the same page


At least AJ's choice of prestige transport is better than petrucci's
