Everything was fine and normal - then at around 5pm I started getting webpages taking a long time to load - not the loading part itself per se, but the connecting part.
Pings are fast, speed tests are fast… once it’s connected, which can take up to 30 seconds, every time. Because all the tests I can find to run test speed or latency, I can’t find what’s actually being slow as whatever it is doesn’t seem to be measured - if I ping a website, it’ll hang for like 20-30 seconds before the pinging starts, then all the pings are normal.
Is this something to do with the migration? Because it’s driving me a bit nuts.
I am on a 31.57.x.x IP - so I guess I have been migrtated.
I’ve tried many different DNS services - Google, Cloudflare, Quad9, Level3 - all do the same thing
Nope - did that, rebooted, tried to load a webpage…hang for 20+ seconds before it loaded. It’s not every time though either - sometimes I can open 4 or 5 websites, and they’ll all sit there trying to connect for ages, then POP! they all load instantly at once. Or sometimes, some will load and others will just sit there connecting - sometimes the ones which were taking ages to connect will start working normally, whilst the ones which were working normally will start to take ages to connect again.
It’s all over the place and there’s no consistent repeatability to help me narrow it down - it’s quite maddening tbh
The broadband quality monitor on Thinkbroadband shows my connection as absolutely tip-top - I just can’t find the source of the problem.
Now I can’t get any other webpage to load but this one - I can refresh this one, and it loads instantly - BBC, Google, Reddit and YouTube are all just stuck connecting.
Sometimes it seems OK, and sometimes it’s practically unusable - but never consistently.
OK, found something consistent - it’s suddenly being a real pain and most pages will barely load (but some will load almost instantly without issue).
www.pinkun.com (website for NCFC news) won’t load at all - connection times out. But www.scan.co.uk will load immediately. YouTube will hang and then partially load. BBC will partially load instantly, then the images will hang.
For one of the sites where the images aren’t loading, can you right click on the image placeholder, select copy image URL and paste that in to a new browser tab and see what comes back, like an HTTP error or something?
Tracerts come up normal - even though they take way longer than nomral to complete - nothing I test shows any unual numbers as latency and speeds are fine, once it’s connected.
When images don’t load, it’s a delay - they load eventually, just takes way longer than anything else, likely because it’s having to connect to a different server to load them, and it’s that connection that holds everything up, seeingly.
I’m getting the same issue. Hell, I can’t even post on these forums from my Yayzi connection because my password manager (LassPass) has blocked my new 31.* under their export controls. I’m on my phone on 5g to post this.
Can’t access any of my normal sites.
It’s not a local pc thing, TV can’t stream, kids laptops won’t open the usual stuff like iPlayer or netflix.
Just been months of these so called upgrades and migrations…at what point do we just get a stable working service that isn’t endlessly being riddled with?
