Forums Slow or unobtainable in the UK

Featured Replies

In recent days the forums have become very slow and some times unobtainable  in the UK. None of the other sites I visit are similarly affected.

 

I'm frequenly getting the following message both when attempting to log in and also When trying to view other threads having logged in.

 

 
Service Unavailable

Getting the same thing here. I am in southeast UK (outside London) and I am seeing the same message, particularly in the mornings when I try around 0700 UTC. However, it's not just the forums affected for me, it's the whole AVSIM site. I have no idea if this is just a UK thing. All other sites I frequent come up without problems in the same time frame.

By far the slowest site I regularly visit....baah. Always.  :mad:

Painfully slow...

Touch harsh. The 'response' time from HTTP GET has been a few seconds in the UK for a while now, but after that, the speed seems ok - I haven't noticed any other slow down.

 

 

Virgin Media, near Manchester if that has any bearing...
