Ocean11 0 Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 Has anybody else noticed a marked slowdown on the Internet since the war started? Email and page downloads seem to fail the first time... Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 I noticed that. News websites are really slow. Last Thursday BBC wasn't moving for me at all. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 BBC is the only one i have noticed so far. The other ones i have visited seem to be ok. But i haven't been 'surfing' as much in the last couple of days. Link to post Share on other sites

snobee 0 Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 I think it's coz the oil-fired power stations are worried about oil supply so they've turned the power down a bit so less is getting through, hence the slowdown in the net. My toast took ages to make the other morning. And don't get me on about the video - slo mo Link to post Share on other sites
