Bandwidth Issues?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm happy to see that this website is so popular, but I'm noticing that when there's more than 40 people online that it becomes slow and hard to access pages. While I can't rule out my dial-up connection as the problem, maybe the administrators should consider ways to increase the bandwidth if they haven't done so?

This is not a bandwidth issue really. this is an issue with the server, I think.

I use a wifi card and usually get
excellent reception, and using today
as a example, I periodically get the
white page, "Bad Urls", ect...

It took me 30 minutes to get a normal
connection at 10am today and 2pm
today.

I don't know if has anything to do with
the number of members, but something
I occssionally notice(be it 15 mem's-30mem's)

P.S...Thank you Sean for reminding me to comment
on this......

I had similar problems this week - pages loaded very slowly or not at all. My provider Comcast (cable 4 Mbps) suffered from massive DNS outages, but WP problems seem unrelated (other sites worked fine at the same time).

Alex,
If you find out what the problem is, can you please let me know?
I'm studying for the MCSE cert and that type of information could be important to me someday.

Thanks,
Sean
