Today the PBO site (Reader to Reader) is exceptionally slow on my computer. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Despite broadband at times over the past few days the site has been slower than dial up. Any other site I use is the usual broadband quality....what is the problem??????

Same here, reached the point of giving up and doing some work.
The other problem we get is over running the tread, you then have to use the back button to get back to the page, this place is getting harder and harder to live with.

No, Forum is up to speed here in Namibia, but I have similar symptoms as you describe when I try to get to yahoo.com
Somebody suggested, here might be a problem some serveres on linux others on MS, I dont know enough to comment on that

Yes, it's slow, and consistently so.
I've just upgraded to broadband and I had hoped that it would improve matters but there has been no detectable improvement. It leads me to think that it is down to the server/software, but I don't know enough about it.
I can't see that it is down to the number of users. Whilst this site is popular the traffic is much less than on many other sites.

I usually find it not to bad using dial-up here in Oz. However, I am on the site when you are all in bed. Perhaps it is the volume of traffic in the UK - not just on this site?

I used to run an e-commerce site. The ISP (not a big one) would regularly chastise me for not emptying the access logs. He said the amount of data in my logs was slowing down other sites hosted on the same server.
Could this be something similar. Are there other sites hosted on the IPC server that steal the bandwidth?
