Have Vodafone as our ISP at work, finding some overseas sites are really slow to load. eg, deadline.com, mipcom.com. I have tried techspot.com and pcworld.com and they load up fine. At home I got Slinghsot and it seems fine with all the overseas sites. Anyone here on Vodafone have similar issues?

1385724 2014-10-07 00:21:00 Yep, had a couple of my customers call yesterday complaining. Mine was fine. But today over seas sites and even PressF1 (since its in Aussie) are being a right PITA - All NZ sites are fine. One minute they'll load ok next not.

On the upside, I just downloaded another version of W10 from MS (once the site loaded), It really flew through - less than 4 minutes for 3.8GB

Speed test ( vodafones own test) still shows top speed where as speedtest.net wont even load.

I did look before and some places overseas are down, even google --Hmmm Just going to try something :nerd:

OK that didn't work :( I was using Googles DNS, so changed back to Vodafone's-- raspppppppppp :yuck:.

In IE speedtest wouldn't load, Chrome the same, BUT FF, did load very slowwwwwwwwwww then crashed again. NZ sites = Fine

1385725 2014-10-07 01:02:00 Thanks dude... good to know that its not something on my network. Hopefully Vodafone can sort it out, dealing with 100 angry users is not always fun.. At least I can blame it on Vodafone this time.. haha. ronyville (10611)
1385726 2014-10-07 01:39:00 Wahooooooo Pays to call and ask, got side tracked LOL (as you do) ended up changing our plan with everything we have, got more at a cheaper price, basically saving $80 - $100 a month :banana


Still didn't ask about the slowness :illogical -- So just called back, they have a message if you select outages,saying some customers are experiencing international problems with some web sites, and are working on the problem.

1385727 2014-10-07 01:57:00 I have noticed Vodafone slow over the last couple of weeks.

Like just a moment ago it took 2x timeouts before I got PCworld (parent of pressf1)

I've been keeping a watch on streaming (Tunein) to see if the fault is the cable, but that's still good

1385728 2014-10-07 04:16:00 Looks like its been fixed! Whatever was broken. Sites I had issues with are loading much faster now..... I guess they do read the angry emails we send them about their service ... HA! ronyville (10611)
