567780 2007-07-10 23:30:00 I'm on ihug, and the internet is so slow that I've had to turn images off to speed it up - but not by much. Anyone else having this problem? pcuser42 (130)
567781 2007-07-10 23:40:00 I have a feeling Comodo (if u have this installed), may have had something to do with it.

I've uninstallled this for now. As it blocks the Windowsupdate site as well.

I did ring Ihug and they said the PC was the prob (they may have been 1/2 right - Comodo).

It seems to have sped up since removing Comodo.

567782 2007-07-10 23:56:00 Never even heard of Comodo. pcuser42 (130)
567783 2007-07-10 23:58:00 Well it was slow tho, didnt come right till 11 on Monday.

And much later yesterday (most of the day). Could have been the weather / phone lines too.

567784 2007-07-10 23:59:00 Could it possibly because of School Holidays? Cold weather keeping the kids indoors? PJ:2cents: Poppa John (284)

567786 2007-07-11 02:49:00 my xtra broadband is at snails pace. the browsing is so slow and pages ar taking 5 minutes+ to fully load. lance4k (4644)
567787 2007-07-11 02:57:00 I agree it is slow...almost like going back to dial up.

I don't even know what Comodo is, let alone have it installed!

I appreciate that it is school holidays, but am sure it hasn't been this bad before.
