As the title says,whats the story,its no advantage having broadband on this site.

 

Tisn't slow for me

Maybe its just you?

 

I have noticed this recently too...... its not as slow as dial up on broad band but it ant as fast as other forums.

 

Other forums don't have thousands of concurrent users?

 

It's normally caused by unnecessarily elongated (sp?) words in posts.

 

Blame all the lurkers...leeching and not posting

 

I have AOL Platinum broadband still seems slow, must be number of users, been in 300zx forum its pretty, quick well used to go in it they banned me

 

Why did they ban you Davy?

 

I agree - it's very slow. Just clicked on "reply" and it took 10 seconds for the next page to appear, and I'm using wanadoo 1meg broadband. None of the other forums take this long ;-)

 

ist slow for me to i am on tiscali 1meg

 

Remember that broadband users all have contended connections. Theoretically could be sharing your 512K or 1Mbit connection with up to 50 other users on BT's ATM network. So a few big downloads being performed by other people could slow your connection noticably.

I've got 10Mbit Telewest broadband and the site seems responsive most of the time.

nah, ur comp is dirt man,,jackeens cant use em anyway!

 

Has been slow for some time now...compared with pretty much every other site i visit..

 

While we appreciate we do have an underlying speed issue (which will require a server OS change to overcome - planned to be investigated as soon as feasibly possible), please be aware that the traffic that SN receives is far in excess of most other sites (not an excuse, and we are aware that some of the bigger sites dont have speed issues, but is worthy point).

Thanks,
Shaun.

 

I agree my pc is a tad **** but this is the only site that suffers turbo lag.you must be running anti-lag on your beast!!!!!

 

i have BT 2meg, and the reply box popped up before i could check my watch

 

You lucky bastid!!!!!!!!!

 

pc's over 2 years old too

mind you i have 1Gig RAM + 600Gigs of Hard Drives

 

My pc looks like something out of doctor who,only jokin its a few years old just sometimes its very slow on here,its grand tonight..mind you im not really a computer expert just have it for talking about cars and looking at ****

 

It's all down to server load during peak times..... at the moment it's quicker than I can type (since less people are about).

Regards,
Shaun.

 

other vB boards with more members online don't suffer from slowness

 

Yep, agree with Shaun, peek periods and this place does really slow down

May I ask what sort of server we are running on? If its possible to upgrade without massive cost small donations from members may fix this little issue

 

slagging there pissans sorry nissans
