ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area ECN Slow Down

Thanks Bill.

Hello Paul, I'm in Lake Park about 15 miles south of Valdosta, (I-75) going down to the Gainesville FL and Cedar Key area today to visit my better halfs brother.

Bill, it's just about time for the annual vacation thread/s.

It is sloooowwwwwww tonite. (on DSL)

All sites have been slow for the past few weeks. It looks like the phone pests are going to E-Mail now since the national no call list. There is a 6 X increase in our E-Mail, I just finished installing my mail pest control, filters 99% of the pests. Now only 2 or 3 E-Mails pop up rather then 40.

LK,
Yeah, I'd tend to agree.
Over the last couple of weeks, things have been real slow down here in NZ.
Even going to other sites, takes ages, these days, it's not isolated(to use an Electrical term), just to ECN!.

It's the cold weather--slows down the electrons.

Maybe it's because our connection is fast but... This site is like the Slowskis, Bill & Marilyn. Every click takes way way too long!!

Been very slow using DSL over the past few weeks. This site seems to be only one affected tho.

Still very slow tonight.

It's zipping along as fast as ever at the moment.

When I first connect in the morning it is a tad slow, but as the day goes on it gets better.
I'm using a DSL line.

Just ran a quick test, took me nearly 15 seconds to reload the "General Discussion" page of topics. Most of that time it appears to be waiting for "my turn" to come, and when my turn finally comes - the page loads in a snap. I find this typical, although I've never tried to quantify it before.

This is true both at work (fast ethernet connected via multiple fiber T1's) and at home (dsl).

In general, the ECN response time is a little slower than some other sites I visit, but I've generally attributed that to the greater number of users (lurkers and posters) here.
