Sites slowwww

Hi guys. Dunno if this is the right section but thought I'd try anyway.

Tried loggin on to eBay today and the homepage froze with 33 pictures still to download, just on the homepage. Then it wouldn't let me sign-in either. Eventually it was fine but now it's gone back to how it was this morning.

Then I try looking at the Cnet website for some help but that won't even load. MySpace is literally taking an eternity to load. I enter the MySpace address in the address bar and IE just freezes completely.

Thing is it's not my PC as the exact same thing's happening on my laptop too and only since today. I dunno if maybe the firewall on the router has anythin to do with it as I don't know much about routers but I just don't know what else it can be? Just now I've tried MySpace again, I click enter in the address bar, it goes to load the page as normal then suttin jus makes it freeze but I dunno what! I haven't changed anythin in my setup and like I say the exact thing is happening on my laptop too and we've had the same setup for a few months now with not a single problem

Re: Sites slowwww

Well, that looks normal, considering it's coming from the UK. I think it's probably an ISP issue that comes and goes, pretty difficult to say.

One thing you can do is upgrade the router firmware to the latest version, then reset to factory defaults and reconfigure. This will sometimes slap some sense into them.
