MSE Very Slow

Is anyone else having problems with MSE? It seemed to start yesterday. Pages take an age to respond often timing out altogether. I often need to click on something several times to get any response at all.
All my other usual websites are still blisteringly fast on my 54Mbps connection, it's only MSE that's playing up.
I've tried clearing the browser (IE11) cache of everything including cookies; I've even changed to OpenDNS from Virgin's own DNS servers, all to no effect.
Oh, and as soon as I hit the send button to post this message I instantly got a 'Your request has timed out' message back and had to f5 to try again. Crazy!

I had some timeouts yesterday on MSE but not other sites. I'm only on 3G though . Not seen one yet today but I've only just started looking.0

Yes .. Probs for me here too0

Same here - very slow or timing out some of the time, but seconds later it's suddenly working normally again. No other sites seem effected.0

IE no good but Firefox fine..........?0

That's going to be a coincidence.
Surprisingly I still haven't had a timeout on 3G so it's just possible it's a routing problem which isn't impacting Three.0 -
Ah just what I've come to this part of the forums to ask about.
Took a while to get here though.
I've also been having problems since yesterday, only on MSE, all other sites/pages fine.
I'm accessing via my kindle, so don't know if that's making a difference?0 -
Weird one.
It's fine on my laptop (Ubuntu) running Firefox well feels a second or so slower.
But on my android phone and tablet Chrome and firefox both just fail to load MSE pages.Laters

I had problems for a couple of minutes at 10am yesterday, they recurred again today at the same time, although all is OK now. It's definitely a MSE problem0
