Well fellas rather than just moan i thought it may help if we do a honest pole on the PF performance rather than have the usuall " well its ok for me with my gazillion gigg connection " replies
Please be honest and say how it realy is for you now and does it differ at various times of day etc.

Speed wise seems spot on.
I do seem to get "Page cannot be displayed" now and then. However seems to be no pattern to that.
Not complaining as a refresh seems to resolve.

Has been spot on for me except the past few days where its timing out EVERY post and I have to refresh or try again to view what I want.
It has sorted itself out again the past few hours so we shall see.
Ps Im only on 2meg broadband. TISCALI.

I've tried re-booting the modem & all sorts but it doesn't help.
Other than that, the speed is spot on.
Paul, can you amend the poll & add in the option of 'page cannot be dsplayed' please?
same here, and im certainly not on a "gazillian meg connection" just 1meg here
but that doesnt have any baring on website performance anyway, certainly not the "page cannot be displayed" issue
EDITED for stu, im using Orange 1meg connection.

Paul,
It has been shit, especially the past few days.
I would guess that around 75%+ of the pages I try to load up on here fail, and I have to refresh the links about 5-10 times.
I have just formatted my PC and its just as shit.
It took me over half an hour to try to post a thread earlier today!

Can everyone whos replied please edit and state what Internet provider they have. We may be able to establish a link to those who cannot get on. For Example, Tiscali is looking like a link at the moment.

I had issues until i reset my router. It was timing out on pages and crashing the browser. Was a real pain.
May i also sugegst anyone having problems download adaware and run a full system sweep for spyware on their PC's. This should be done weekly.
