Speedtest just shown 5Mbp +

but you tube stream running achingly slow (this one)

Even STW loads are slow.

What could be the reason? DNS at the exchange or something?

Virgin? Ours ran painfully slowly a week either side of the election and performed pretty much as you describe. I ran all the usual malware tests which all came up blank, talked to Virgin and they provided me with vague clouds of words. It's all normal again now.

EDIT: Video loads fine here. Nice looking place, a bit iffy for a Sunday afternoon stroll.

well the internet's ears must have been burning as it's now loading fine.

Ah well.

As for the video, Ive ridden that trials style you know. 😉
