A Wimbledon effect?


[link to this post] 		 
Is anybody else experiencing much slower than usual download speeds this afternoon?

http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/idnet/t/3660383-spe...

Is Wimbledom/ Andy Murray a likely explanation for my download speeds taking a nosedive?

O2 LLU, no problem here either. Ping and throughput is fine.

The BBC sites are just about crawling along.

Yep - it's been affecting me on Freeola/Entanet.

Interesting how many of these keen Tennis fans seem to give up watching when it's home time though; as things improved after 5pm wink


I guess the tennis traffic is mostly the same it's just that the normal office traffic has reduced...

The BBC pages have been crawling for me most of today...

We've been using BBC sites quite heavily here without any abnormal problems except one tennis video I'm told.

Your theory is possible, but I would guess the majority of people would use a TV set?? On BBC HD it was excellent last Monday, unfortunately I wasn't able to watch tonight.

the wimbledon.org website is nice and quick at work and on BE smile
