    Newer and faster servers - Seems slow to me!

    I thought the forums where moved to fast servers? I have had more timeouts and slow page loads since the move.

    It's slow for me as well. We are both in the UK (@ OP), it might be a server in the US?

    Very slow here for me in the UK on Virgin Media 100mb. My speed is just fine but loading the forums here takes 3 to 5 secs for each page and is very laggy

    The forum was much faster before, pages loaded instantly.

    Can't do ping or tracert test from command prompt as they seem to be blocked.

    FM has always been one of the slowest sites on the web for me, I have a 25/25 line and should be no reason the home page takes 5 seconds or longer to load considering virtually every other site I visit is in the 1 second range or faster. Oh well, I have become use to it now...

    Wondering whether it is a dns issue?

    Are you on Virgin? If other UK users are finding it quick then it's more than likely a DNS issue or even ISP caching problems. To be honest, there isn't really any way to tell exactly without access to Virgin's systems (for me at least).

    I'm on a Google DNS and it's fast. It's never been slow for me in fact.
