mercuryg Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 MalcolmTwo days ago there was an 'outage' in Scotland that affected the North East; anyone using BT lines (which is just about everyone no matter who your ISP is) could have experienced a slow down. I rang my ISP to find out what the problem was and was given that information. It is now fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Robinson Posted November 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Thanks merc, funnily enough when my friends had that trouble a week ago mine was unaffected? Last couple of days its snail mail early in the mornings? Takes ages just to load up e-mail never mind opening sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
