BBC Website... S L O W

Is it me or is the BBC website running at a snail's pace today...?

I'm using VM [ for my sins ]

Must just be you, fine here.

Interesting - it's timing out on the same hop every time.

It's a Virgin DNS problem. As soon as i change the primary DNS On my router to 8.8.8.8 instead of the ones assigned automatically everything is working much better. My oldest could not get on the Playstation network earlier and now that is working along with BBC and other websites that were not loading. Very odd. Edited November 16, 2012 by mattx
