    Internet Problems

    Anyone else - I've got about 50% of sites timing out (not this one) ?
    Bored.

    it's because of the short sellers - ban 'em, burn 'em, ban 'em again

      It’s all those short-term speculants ‘surfing’ the internet. They should only allow DNS servers to respond to one request per day for each user.
      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        I only need one - here!

        My internet connection has been pants since I started extolling the virtues of using 3g on here and said Three (the provider) were good - since then it's been wank. Typical.

          There is now a smart filter on the internet, you will find you can not access those sites that are too intellectual or simply beyond your capabilities.
          I am surprised you can still get on here.
          I am not qualified to give the above advice!

            I 'use' them for cell - never again.

              Time out possibly cause by IE updates resetting security (known problem). Don’t use IE or anything Microsoft.

                At the risk of more flaming and/or ridicule, I'm using Opera/Ubuntu.

                  Thank you for calling the CUK Helpdesk.

                  My name is Ajit, how can I help?

                  Have you tried rebooting the internet?

                  Please do so, and advise if this rectifies your problem.

                    Rumbled. I was trying to short the internet. Fortunes to be made. And I would've gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those pesky kids.
