Very Slow Access To Some Web Sites

somerbooks — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 18:29:25 GMT

Since upgrading to Infinity we're finding some web sites are very slow to load (especially eBay and PayPal). Speed checker confirms our upload / download speeds are very good and most web sites are fine.

Is there a problem with some web sites being accessed by fibre as opposed to broadband?

Many thanks,

There should not be any problems ... In ADSL you are copper to te DSLAM in te exchange and from there probably fibre out to teh web ... With VDSL copper to the cabinet, DSLAM equivalent there, then fibre to te exchange and fbre out to the web ... No real difference.

I have occasionally found that there is a need to tweak PCs (and possibly routers) to get thinks running as they should - have a search for MTU and RWIN settings ... Try www.dslreports.com/tweaks it may show issues on your connection. www.kitz.co.uk has info on RWIN and MTU

Many thanks for the reply - I'll check out the links you suggest and see if any of my settings need to be updated.

Best wishes,
