Barely moving this morning. On BT Infinity, anyone else got the same?

Freakbro · 20 Jul 2016 at 08:44

Yea same here, everything timing out, struggling to log into sites etc

You need to apply SPF15 to your modem or router.

You're welcome.

If I use SPF50 will it speed up my connection?

Only if you're in the water a lot. Do you watercool any components?

Yeah same in Nottingham both home and office (both on Infinity).

Nate75 · 20 Jul 2016 at 09:28

BT just coming back up now

BT Infinity at home was fine for me this morning.

UTmaniac · 20 Jul 2016 at 09:30

Not just me then, thank goodness for that, been trying Google DNS instead of BT with little improvement. Some sites, including BT, simply won't load!

Robbo · 20 Jul 2016 at 09:30

Yep, BT slow here too.

Pawnless Endgame · 20 Jul 2016 at 09:30

Virgin / NTL used to be bad for this back in 2005 and 2006, as their repeater boxes are dark green = absorb heat. I'm not sure what changed after 2006 but Virgin is usually ok now.

Computers at work yesterday however were slow in all aspects. Like MS Word would take over 10 seconds to open :rolleyes:

Pho · 20 Jul 2016 at 09:32

Same here (BT). Looks like BT have nuked something

edit: just as I posted this my RDP session to my work PC dropped :mad:

Freakbro · 20 Jul 2016 at 09:37

I did see this on their service status

Telephone problem in the Rhyl area

Instructions unclear - router is now in the bath.

BT on and off for me this morning.

RavenXXX2 · 20 Jul 2016 at 09:41

Same.
