Wimbledon Is Slowing Down My Internets!!!

[Keltik THC]

I usually get a steady 8mps downstream, at the moment though im getting 300kpbs.. phoned up my ISP who are superb (fast.co.uk) and they have told me heaps of muppets are watching Wimbeldon live on the internet which is causing a massive bottle neck across the countries infrastructure and most ISPs are affected.

Fast Services are the best ISP i have had in my life as they always solve my problems and i have never had an interuption in service; so if they say its Wimbledon im pretty sure it must be.

Anyone else feeling this slow down?

I can surf fine, pages load no bother but anything that demands a slight increase in bandwidth like youtube or uploading content to my website takes a lot longer than normal.

It's very frustrating when your trying to upload stuff online before you go out.

EDIT: COME ON MURRAY; DO IT FOR SCOTLAND!

We've noticed a slowdown of the internet at work too.

Been feeling a significant slow down with Sky recently - so I assume it must be that.

BBC website it at a crawl, i thought there must be some big breaking news but now i know its just tennis

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Heap of folk doing it at work in the other companies we've joined with.
Going up and closing it or disabling their internet access seems to do the trick.

Shame on some people. It's on BBC 1/2 ffs.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

I don't know why people aren't just leaving their desks and going to watch it on the big screens in the meeting rooms. Not as if they are doing any work anyway...

At work I don't have BBC1 or BBC2 available on the TV.

I do have it streaming right this second through the website though

i guess most companies IT departments arent as stringent as mine, we all had to leave work early because my work has port blocks on all streaming video/radio/music etc..

Shouldn't do. I believe iPlayer goes through 80.

We just had an e-mail go round our company saying get off the internet becuase everyone here is watching Wimbledon and our servers have slowed to a crawl.

OCUK taking ages to load up

Nope, I think tennis is one of the most boring sports in the land to watch, coming second only to cricket.

probably

Just me and you i think, folk in here (work) have been watching it. I unplugged the router yesterday for a laugh, turned out to be at a crucial points scoring moment in time.

Never seen such panic and rush at them trying to fix it
