The Radio Information Board

I have a fairly fast connection. Several times faster than dialup. But accessing ANYTHING on this board is painfully slow. I may set for a mintue or more waiting for it to load. Anyplace else I go it's no problem.

I've tried IE, Firefox, and Opera 8. None seem to make a difference. I click on a page, go get a can of pop, drink it, come back, and the thing still has not loaded.

This evening it is taking close to a minute to open any page.

Your the only one I've ever heard complain about the speed in the 2-3 years that i've had this board up and running. I would tend to shy away from it being a problem on my server's end.

I too have always found this site very slow. I may point the finger at my ISP as part of the problem. I have noticed that several sites, including this one and the apco international site are very slow from the house. If I try them from work, it's much better. The house connection is a DSL that works good for most sites.

So it maybe how the ISP has their network set up. Sites like Yahoo and others load fast.

This should really no longer be a problem - as it's now sitting on a 20mbit pipe.

Since I posted the original question back in June I have changed ISP's and the problem went away. For some reason it had a problem with this particular site.
