You really think people are that thick?

If you spent just a few microseconds outside Universe Adrian you would realise that you have once again fallen foul of the advice given by H L Mencken in 1926, "No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people".

Have you actually got any facts to back up your statement rather than the anecdotal "a lot of people I know" or is it just another "Adrian fact".

Maybe the people you know are a bit thick then, maybe you are a bit thick. Even my next door neighbour who knows nothing about tech realises that if she loses power, then he cordless phones will not work, not that it makes any difference now as they are connected to her Sky router.

The discussion seems to have wandered a bit, but I wonder quite what you mean by sluggish.

Sometimes a fast connection can seem sluggish because the DNS is slow.

What DNS settings are you using? It might be worth trying different ones.

I never thought of that, I used to use open DNS years ago, but now just use the normal ones that plusnet uses.
I thought it was my VPN at first, then realised it is only my phone and computer that goes through the VPN

But as I said it seemed to behave correctly again.
