BA website incredibly slow

Right now I'm in Cambodia, trying to book a NCL->LHR->HEL->HKG, SIN->DRW, SYD->LHR->NCL ticket(s) for early next year but as soon as I log into the BAEC account, the site just grinds to a halt. Trying to book any random simple flights, the site just hangs.

It seems to happen wherever I am in SE Asia, be it Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Phnom Penh, Hanoi or Hong Kong. However, when back in the UK, the website is fast and responsive.

Other websites (such as this or my own websites) are much quicker, even on third-world connectivity so I'm led to believe that there's very poor routing at the website's uplink with SE Asia.

Does anyone else experience similar symptoms? Or suggestions?
