slow access

mediaman — Tue, 05 Jul 2005 19:58:07 GMT

Does anyone else find accessing threads on this forum quite slow.
Maybe I just expect too much. Other forums are faster.:smileysad:

Specially the last two weeks it's been horrendous!

The site was nice and quick for a good few months.
I think it's mainly due to bandwidth limitations - kids off school and all that the server has a lot more to deal with

You think? I've never encountered anywhere so consistently slow as this place, and I'm sure if it was the Internet then I would have noticed it at least somewhere else. I wonder if they just have a really really crappy server to run it on. I'm sure Java apps must take a lot more processing mufti than PHP, surely?

More strangeness ....

I look at and post to this forum quite regularly , both from home and work and it is ALWAYS really quick.

Threads open instantly and everything else happens smoothly and quickly....
How strange some of you guys are having problems.

Could it be your ISP?

Twisted-Rizla — Wed, 06 Jul 2005 10:26:41 GMT

Now that is strange.

Don't think it's down to our isp's as the problem only seems to occur on the CV site. I think it's as TT said - slow servers at Sony's end.

Definately not my ISP I'm on 2meg line.NTL
It's good to have this forum, I would like it to be a bit faster, but as long as it stays running. I'm happy.

Club Viao keep up the good work.!happy.gif|___jive_emoticon_name=happy|jivemacro=emoticon|class=jive_macro jive_emote|src=happy.gif!

Very very slow here.
I find it much quicker early in the morning UK time (like 4:00am!!!) than in evening.
A couple of months ago, Sony did something which sped the whole thing up, but it looks like it has slowed down heaps.

Opening this post took 8 seconds....(edit: make that 13 seconds)

I am using Onetel broadband. Is everyone who is slow with onetel?

Re: slow access

rich912 — Wed, 06 Jul 2005 19:05:17 GMT

Sony is listening!!! It has suddenly gone into overdrive at this end. Pages loading in a couple of seconds:smileyconfused:

Re: slow access

Twisted-Rizla — Wed, 06 Jul 2005 19:24:22 GMT

They must have stopped listening Rich.

My page is taking over 30 seconds to load. Thought I was back on dial-up for a moment.
