I'm getting pings of 140ms, despite which the site is still fast as ever here - literally no problems in the last few weeks. On the other hand my own site, hosted in the uk, pings in 35ms, with traceroute showing half the number of server hops (9 vs 18). So I'm guessing server location is not the whole issue, but may not be helping.

Do you mean that although yours is much closer that you still think it runs slower? that could be that the thing you are talking to - the webserver, might be shared or running slowly or something - or perhaps the code you are running on your pages is 'sub optimal'.

I think we should all write notes to each other and post them.

Good knowledge on IP routing there dobbin, cheers for that.

[Bubba]

From looking at some of these traceroutes, it appears that the problem lies with Cogent. In which case there's nothing we can do.

Looking for commonality between the traces that failed and those that didnt - it all seems to sit within the cogentco cloud, who are one ISP who probably resell space or IP peering to rosehosting. Perhaps they had problems over the last few days? I seem to work today when I didnt yesterday for instance?!

So there's no doubt that Cogent are having problems at the moment:

I agree that the issues do lie with Cogent and it puts it out of our immediate control - we just have to hope that they will get it sorted. I found a couple of old links where this had happened before.

I'm not sure about the relationship between Rosehosting and Cogent because consistently when I do a traceroute, I don't go via a Cogent node, which is why I'm guessing my connection to UKB is still fast.

Whether this is purely down to luck, ISP relationships, Internet infrastructure (I believe Cogent run part of what is considered Internet Backbone) or something else I have no idea.

I still can't get on UKB at home, everything elsecworking normally.

Still OK on the phone, so far at least.

You sure that The Boss hasn't arranged for your provider to block it?

[GCW]

possibly, but I'd have eXpected the phone to meet with an "accident" as well.

I just had a vision of you walking into your kitchen to find your GayPhone sitting in a nice hot mug of tea. My visions come true sometimes....

[Tris]

Is anyone still experiencing problems? Back to normal speed again over here.

Looking good to me now 

[magpie]

I'm back to normal too. 

[Tris]

I'm back to normal too. 

You were strange for a bit?

Hi

Strangely enough am able to get on to UKb at work but not at home. Just keep getting timed out at home. No problems with other sites.

Cheers Dave

(will check this evening if it has started working)

[GCW]

I can now get back on UKB at work.
Still not working at home though.

[shark]

Serpico says he can't get on either.

[butters]

Been really random at times tonight but then I am PM'ing Paul B so I get all I deserve really... 

[rginns]

I have no problem at work, but haven't been able to get on at home for the last couple of days...

[lagerstarfish]

My wife is complaining that I am slow and unresponsive. Have I caught some kind of virus from UKB? Pay me £5k and I'll forget all about it or you can contact me via my lawyers (Spurious, Shakey and Toss).

Sponger of Heeley.


PS
Cash4CompoNow.com may be helping me sue The Peak District National Park because I got sore hands from the grit. If they pay up I'll think about charging UKB a bit less.

I've had no problems whatsoever (accessing the site) over the last week - from various airports, hotels, sickbeds and kitchen tables - situatued throughout Western Europe and Hull.

I blame sky news and Rupert Murdoch. Cunt.

PS, Lagers, Cash4CompoNow.com are presently helping me sue the farmer at Almscliff for the behaviour of his cows. I cannot go into details for legal reasons but it left me feeling violated (as well as making my bouldering mat smell)

I am now able to access the site as normal from work so I can continue wasting time (as usual).

[Adam Lincoln]

Can't get on either at home. Isp is talk talk. Serpico also on talk talk and can't get on.

[GCW]

Guess who we're with?

At the moment I can't get 5 on demand either, it claims my IP address is invalid as they only allow UK viewers   

[Jaspersharpe]

Talk Talk are a bunch of useless gayers. Glad I ditched them.

[rginns]

I.m on talktalk too, the bastards, Maybe Mick Ryan bought shares
