Site is slow again.
I have just tested my broadband speed between here and London and here to the USA as well. 19.6 Mbps and 20.13 Mbps respectively.
Repeated page refreshes on flickr (lots of data in the form of photos) are very quick.
BBC iPlayer (HD) works fine as usual.
What Hi-fi? forum ground to a halt (again). Wait 5 minutes and might get lucky for a minute or two before it freezes.
This has become the norm lately. (Although the Christmas and New Year period were ok.)
Does anyone else experience this regularly? Are the staff aware of problems?
I'm finding it a lot better now than it was earlier today or yesterday following the little "glitch".
I get the same thing regularly, though not that bad today

I found it always to be slow, maybe thats why so many blank posts etc. Why do I have to use letter verify on long posts?
I find at times, pages take a long time to appear.....but never know whether it's at my end......but don't think it is, as everything else is reasonably fast.
It's all right atm though, but was slow this morning.
Also on post titles why don't you limit to 64 characters so when you try to reply you don't get warnings all the time?
Have modified your account so you should no longer have to do the word-verification thing.

OK thanks it was mainly when quoting someone else's post that it happened.
No idea on that one: it appears to be a site glitch which no-one with pens in their top pockets seems to be able to resolve.

Can't they just make the title space shorter?
You'd think, wouldn't you? 
Agree with everything Chebby says - the site has very tempramental of late and today is even worse than usual. And, yes, my broadband speeds are good.

Spoke too soon. Now slow and clunky, with "Site offline" appearing all too regularly.
Not too bad at the moment and my speeds are pretty good for Broadband around 19mb which is pretty good for this area but WhatHiFi site is the slowest I go into on a regular basis. It is frustrating when you try to post some comments and you lose them all. Other sites like Flickr are much faster and don't seem to have these problems.
I have raised this issue with our technical team and pointed them to this thread.
