Is your internet browser a little odd tonight?
On freeserve broadband, and its gone rather slow, email keeps 'hanging' and some web pages won't load, just showing 'error in remarque' or similar?
Checked the modem, its ok, run the usual virus checks, nowt, and a system restore on XP.
The pages will sometimes load as normal, other times they just 'stick' and the refresh button don't help.
Possibly a virus, but Norton can't find it!
Any advice?

There's a partial outage at the London Internet Exchange (LINX), one of the main hubs of the UK internet infrastructure, along with a failure of one of the main pipes between the UK and the USA. This partially explains why everything's running a bit slow today, and why some Stateside sites haven't been available at all.
Seems to be a lot better now than it was earlier, although a couple of routing problems seem to be lingering.

Yup, according to Easyspace, there's a major Transatlantic routing problem from 16.00 today. No incoming e-mail since then
