Can't access Yahoo - it loads very very slowly

I'm on 20mb Virgin broadband and have been having a problem accessing Yahoo for about a week or so now. It sometimes won't load up or takes several minutes. Problem is, my wife uses Yahoo email (I've googled Yahoo email and loaded that, but that's slow also).

I have Opera and have tried IE also - makes no difference.

I have tried my work's laptop via wireless connection - same issue.

Is there a Yahoo problem? Anyone else having this problem?

cheers

    This has been an ongoing issue now for almost a week, when I spoke to someone at Virgin, they said they were having issues with Yahoo.

    Hummm, would this be similiar to the Sky issues they were having?

    I've only ever used IE7.

    Glad im not the only 1,
  • Glad I've found this thread as I too have been having problems. I suspected it was down to Virgin as both my main PC and my laptop are affected - browsing Yahoo at work is fine.

    Hope they sort it out soon.
