Hello, Its been working fine for me too in the last couple of days. One things for sure though, as the nights darken and more people use the internet, it slows up. Sometimes it becomes quite noticeable, like ebay for instance about 3,4,5 weeks before christmas. As for where the 'bottleneck' is, it can be hard to tell from an end users point of view. It might be the actual website, it might be the internet, it might be the Internet service provider (ISP), it might be a bit of them all. I have seen some unexpected differences in performance even between very similar internet connections; Same ISP, same dialling code area, same equipment, same ISP package and technically savvy people on the end of both connections. One connection was significantly and consistently better at accessing some websites than the other. Sometimes the problems would manifest themselves as half working or very slow websites or areas of the website that appeared not to function. Often the problem became worse in peak times. Do you see the same problems off-peak? Not a solution to the problem I know!
