Pages won't load on Firefox, Opera or IE

Fran

Pages on all browsers are taking ages to load and they don't load images fully eg smilies or even B for "bold". I've tried all sorts of bits & pieces, has anyone got a clue what this might be?

Clutching at straws - but do you have a router and is it setup right?
I couldn't get into a few sites for a day last week when I reset my router and ran through the auto setup wizard. I had forgoten to set the MTU size to the number my ISP demands

Fran,

Before you start tweaking try some of the speedtests on this post.

Also run the ADSLGuide Speedtest.

If you're not sure what's normal just post your results.

Just spent ages trying to post reply on Firefox. Now on Opera which brings up reply box quicker (not fully loaded though)

If you're on a 512 connection then that's ok.

Yes I use a router but it's been set up a while. Can settings change on their own?

I've had intermittent problems today whilst using this site but I thought it was just me! It even crashed Firefox at one point and I had to reboot because whatever I tried to do kept bringing up a box saying "moneysavingexpert.com could not be found" or words to that effect.

Yep - appears to be a very slow hop thru Seattle and a 2% packet loss on a pathping.

TOG,

Thanks.


My problem seems to be with my ISP - adsl4less.
