Another precinct heard from:

It's very, very slow sometimes (takes forever for a page to load) and then a minute later it will be very fast. And then a minute or two later, very slow. Etc., etc.

Ditto... this has been happening for a few weeks. A couple of pages load at normal speed & then whammmmm - it just sits there for a while.

It's the same on web2, 3 & 4.

Same here.. a couple weeks seems to be the right timeframe.. Maybe coinciding with that update that occurred in November or December?

Lately I've been experiencing the same sort of behavior that CBlaisd has noted above. Been going on for at least a week, maybe longer. And I am sure that the wait is for FT, not an ad provider, because I always look.

Not likely.... I'm on a huge corporate network with excess bandwidth.

It happens at work and at home and the behavior is always the same.

It has also been slow the past few days. As described by CBlaisd above.

Especially when I want to post it takes me enough time for me to go to the washroom and get a cup of coffee (after washing my hands) and it still has not loaded the page yet. I'm not rushing so it must take a few minutes.

... and this one reporting how ironic it was that I just had to wait for some time before this page loaded.

It is really becoming cumbersome to visit this place any more. Very, very frustrating.
