 Gold member  Nutrition | Our servers are testing fine. BUT... There's a bit of a semi-perfect storm brewing on the internet in the USA today. See below. The AT&T issue is the main cause of most people's pain. Check this: http://www.internetpulse.com/ For reasons understandable only to major network geeks, the Milwaukee area is experiencing a big chunk of the problems.
1. AboveNet, a major ISP, experienced a fiber cut in southern California which effected their 10G link to Seattle. 2. Level 3 experienced a fiber cut in the Dallas to Houston area. 3. AT&T is having massive issues with reach ability to the majority of Tier 1 carriers. If your internet traffic goes through AT&T at any point, you will experience a slow down. So, why do some sites and or people not have this problem? Either their traffic isn't being routed via a problematic pipe, or for larger sites like CNN, Google and the like, they have copies of their site stored and served from many different data centers around the country and the world. *Attached is the last 24 hrs in question for future reference of why several people had access problems...

 Bronze member | Thanks Mike/Ron!!!. Since my last post, I haven't had a problem. And why doesn't BT have copies of its site in different locations around the world? I thought world-domination would be higher up on the to-do list.  |

Bronze member | Mike,
I'm bringing this back up because I'm having issues at two different locations (work and home) using two different service providers (ATT and Cable) but seems to be only with BT website. I went to a 'test my IP' website, pings and up/download speeds to servers across the country are fine with both. How else can I prove this is an issue on my side so I can complain? Or is this BT side somehow?
So frustrating at times... |

Gold member | Is anyone else experiencing this? I've looked at it every way I can and I'm not seeing any performance/latency issues. |

I get the odd delay of a few seconds and the occasional timeout (like once every few weeks) but it always either eventually comes up after a few seconds or I can reload the page and I'm good to go. |

Bronze member | I tried the suggestions you made in the thread I started on this topic earlier in the week (clearing out my cache, CCleaner), but I'm still experiencing a lot of delays. |

Ditto here. My provider is Comcast. Sometimes BT responds just fine, other times it is very slow and/or times out. I can eventually get the pages loaded. I have been doing pings to www.google.com when I have been experiencing problems and sometimes it is for sure my problem as I get periodic timeouts but other times my pings are going nice and speedy yet BT is still lagging. |

Bronze member | My provider at home is also Comcast...however, I'm at a rental this weekend that has Cox, and I'm still getting delays. Plus I get them at work too, on a different computer with both IE and Firefox. Makes it hard to feed my BT addiction |
