Iceinspace Slow
I don't Know if this is the right place for this post 
I have just downloaded the "Update" for Firefox and my iceinspace has gone extremely slow 
I have closed the computer completely down, even withdrew the power, left it 15 minutes and started up again, it is still very slow
Is anyone having the same problem

It's as slow as molasses in winter.
I reckon it's our broadband Ron.

Ron, I have had this problem for ages. I just timed how long it took to load this page after I hit reply and it was 23 seconds. I do not have this problem with any other site, not sure whats going on . As for firefox, it works a treat everywhere but here. I cannot get any of the forum pages to load at all so I am stuck with IE8 if I want to visit IIS. About the only time I ever use it.

I think that your locality on the earth is currently moving through an inversion of the inter planetary flux region and the dense anisotropic waves are modulating the broadband signal in the time domain, so the di-lithium crystals are less than 1% efficient in passing the excited electron stream through the reversed layer of the geo-magnetic field thus reducing the overall efficiency of the transmitting medium.
Cheers
Dennis

Damn thats slow.
I'm using FF 3.5.2 and this page loaded in ~8 seconds (1000, 2000, 3000....)
Oh and I'm on dialup connected at 45kbps
Edit: Exactly what I was thinking Dennis!

I would love to know what is going on with firefox as I much prefer using it to IE. Is it something to do with settings? I can load the front page but when I try to load the forums it just hangs?
Simon I am on ADSL2+ and every other site is click and there it is.

I'm looking forward to some of that action, just signed up to get naked last night.... NakedDSL that is 
3500+kbps in my area... just a slight speed increase over 45kbps dialup! And the same price, cheaper infact.
Only let down is the 10-20 day wait for connection.

I'm using Chrome, much faster than Firefox and infinitely faster than IE.

I changed over about 3 years ago and have not looked back. You will only get that speed if you live right next to the exchange, coming from dialup who cares  . My best download speeds are about 1100kbs.

Just checked out that site, cool . My estimated speed is 11000kbs ( I am about 1km from the exchange). Doesn't turn out that way though. As I said my best download rate is about 1100kbs using a download accelerator hitting multiple hosts at once. There are always bottlenecks unfortunately.
