It seems to take an age lately to wait for the next page to load, I don't notice this on other sites. Does anyone else notice this? John

The gallery seems to have issues John it takes ages for the pics to appear . They seem to flicker and vanish and then flicker and eventually appear.

It's running OK on my PC - I log in with Google Chrome. It can be slower on some days than others. Irrelevant possibly , but I'm finding the Guardian webpage is playing up a lot just now - sometimes won't open at all, then it does, then it doesn't. I think all sites have these issues now and then. http://www.isleofwightlandscapes.net http://www.wightpaint.blogspot.co.uk

I did a recent test of my system, down here in leafy Devon. I found I was getting 75 thingies per second in receiving data, but only 20 in sending. There is the rub! I type faster than the system can receive, so i find I am often typing garbage, once half the letters are missing and the autocorrect kicks in. But t is better that what I did have, when I rang up virgin media only to find that I was not getting the speed that I was paying for.
