Has the internet slowed down ?
Loads of sites extremely slow today.
Zen ADSL2+ service is normally very good but virtually every site is crawling along at dial-up speeds today... |

A few people doing a bit fo shopping isn't likely to affect the 'net, individual servers/sites maybe but not the 'net. It did struggle a bit for some sporting event that occured during the working day so everyone "at work" was streaming it instead of watching a broadcast. Streaming video gobbles up bandwidth like nobodies business... -- Cheers Dave. |

Self fulfilling prophesies abound about Cyber Monday being like the start of
the sales on internet sites. It makes everyone get on to get the bargains. Think shopping channel hype only for every site on the internet. People are so easily led. Sad really.
