    Slow Internet This Evening

    Not sure if this is affecting anyone?

    Within the last 30 minutes, the London Internet Exchange (LINX) has a major problem that caused instability and loss of connectivity. Our bandwidth providers have shut down their connections to LINX so we are no longer directly affected by it.

    However, as LINX carries such an enormous volume of traffic (and the majority of the UK's internet traffic) it is quite possible that some connectivity may still be less than perfect as other providers may still have their port enabled and/or have congestion on other circuits.

    We have that sent to us this evening by our hosting company.

    Is that why the Skyuser speedtester is not working?

    Working for me fine, it must be your ISP lol

    Although I would guess that there is a good chance a lot of places will be struggling this evening.

    We did actually get that message at 6.21pm but didn't think it would affect anyone.

    I have stumbled across a few sites that are refusing to load tonight or some that are on the slow side, I guess it might be to do with this.
