is it my laptop?

From around 4pm all of a sudden it started to go very slow and can hardly log into anything.... it just takes ages.

I've done the normal clean of the computer i.e. disc clean up, cc cleaner and Malwarebytes and that was all OK, plus I've degragged, but it's still slow.

Is it the server?

Yes, ours has been awful all day. I got up at 6.30am to let the dog out and it's been dreadfully slow all day. We were going to watch something on Netflix later, but I don't think it would cope.

Yes, I can't watch any streaming because it's so damn slow

At least we know it's not our machines

I'm having problems with some sites not loading or loading very slowly. If I connect through a VPN, everything is OK. I can stream OK, it's just establishing a connection that is the problem.

Yes same for me on infinity 1 I rad on another site maybe because everyone is downloading windows 10 updates which might be slowing this right down?

oh my days. wow i was on the phone to them literally now. The net was hardly hanging (going slow) while on the phone to him. we argued, i shouted, he must have been thinking i was making it up and even said i am wasting my time. i was going to come on here and post. shame the call is over.

anyways the net is going so slow. sometimes i have to refresh it for it to work.

I am in northampton

...search "downdetector" for additional info on this BT issue ..
Of course as is usual with BT their own "service status" info is slow to report any problems..

They've staggered downloads, so people have been receiving the update files over the past few days, ready to install today.

Seems to be doing much better today, so maybe the issue is fixed.
