During peak hours it gets a little bogged down, I get the server too busy message. but for the most part works great.

 

2x ds-3 and oc-12 at work

Little lag sometimes, i actually got a "server too busy" a couple of times.

 

Hmm, maybe I can ask again...

Since I am assuming that alot or atleast some of you guys work in IT or PC related jobs, and would thus know your windows and your internet surfing better than I, what in your opinions could one do to help speed up an average 56k connection to this forum? I have noticed it runs slower than some other forums I read, that are EZboard designed, a little less fancy but they are faster. I have uninstalled Flash, will this help my pages load faster?

 

It all depends on the sites Server. If that particular sites Server is suffering, then you will more than likely experience lag. If it's an exceptional Server, then you will normally get what is expected out of a 56K modem.

I say if you have the time and money just Upgrade to a higher much faster connection, i.e. DSL, Cable, etc...
No more experienced slow page loads. It benefits you. But then again it's all up to you, and not me.

 

1. Business ADSL (6 MBPS Downstream)
2. West Coast / So. Cali / Orange County / Yorba Linda
3. Speed is ok, but it lags sometimes during peak usage hours. I also seem to be seeing the "Server is too busy" error pretty lately.

 

1. work DSL ( A little bit slower than what it used to be)
2. home 56k dial up ( Hasn't changed actually loads pretty quick for dial up)

 

work: OC3 (shared with 12,000 other users)/ Biloxi, MS/ usually fast, anything that slows down i usually blame on our end

home: cable modem (1024 up/ 512down)/ Biloxi, MS/ always very fast even when me and a friend are playing online games on other puters

sometimes it seems to be a bit slow and pages doesnt load up...but most of the time is fine...i guess is because too many people are on

Speed has always been great, last month or two slowed down a little bit but not that much for me.

I haven't been on the site for too long but I have noticed that the loading speed has slowed down since I've 1st came aboard.
