martyyn 2 Report post Posted January 28, 2007 IE7 got installed on my laptop the other day whilst I wasnt really paying attention and since then BS has been incredibly slow....in fact most websites have been. Ive done all the suggested changes off the web and have just loaded firefox to have a play with. Firefox however is giving me a similar error but saying that BS is having problems. So is anyone else finding it slow at the moment ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cainchapman 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2007 I'm using ie7 and mine is running about normal for dial-up. I guess, I'm used to everything running slowly whilst I replicate notes though. Hanging out to get back to my broadband. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

will 169 Report post Posted January 28, 2007 I am on IE7 and noticed no difference when I upgraded from IE6 a short while ago, mine is fast at the moment, has been most of the time except for a few site outages a while ago. I am on broadband too, not the fastest out here in the wops, but glad to have it. When I first moved here, they couldn't get my broadband connected at first and I was on dialup using IE6. I couldn't load Bimmersport at all it was so slow. The page used to time out. My ISP is Xtra. So maybe your line is bad? That is what Xtra told me when I complained about the dialup..

Guest Ken Report post Posted January 28, 2007 (edited) So maybe your line is bad? That is what Xtra told me when I complained about the dialup.. Will That was going to be my next reply! I'm on Xtra broadband, top spec HP and Dell gear but with a terrible phone that has highly variable performance. Another thing you can check Martyyn is: have you got filters on EVERY appliance connected to your phone line? Also, how many tabs do you have open in IE7 at once? Much as I hate to admit it, IE7 is a real RAM hog and can get a bit flakey when it gets over about 350MB. Edited January 28, 2007 by Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nz320i 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2007 (edited) telstra broadband will not be the issue here .. you dont need filters - its only for telecom supplied lines. unless you are wholesaling telstra? If you have the cable modem (motorola thing i think) etc you wont be (you will have a telstra coax line, and they are pretty reliable) Check the IE cache???

martyyn 2 Report post Posted January 28, 2007 I wondered about the ram too Ken, but its been when Ive had two tabs open as well as five tabs. The thing is that Im getting it with firefox aswell. Even with only two tabs open I get the window telling me that the BS server is busy and that I need to try again....or words to that effect. Ive tried turning off the phising filter and loading without the add-ons but its still slow. Ive also got firefox going and loaded up all the updates for that, so Ill try that for a while and see if there is any change. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antony 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2007 have you got a limit. on xtra (unsure bout telstra), if you go over your limit it reverts to dial up speed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyyn 2 Report post Posted January 28, 2007 Nope no limits. Im going to try a few things, but I definately think its ie7. Ill try firefox for a while and see how that goes. Do you ie7 guys have the phising filter turned on or off ? Also are you starting with the add-ons or not ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antony 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2007 (edited) mines turned on, but don't really know what it does. possibly a greater problem with your service provider. but hope not, cause its a looooooooooooooooooooooooooong phone call. another thought is possibly your virus protector is interferring somehow.

my_e36 43 Report post Posted January 28, 2007 Everything normal for me, if anything I feel IE7 is faster. Except it alway ask me to log-on when I switch from laptop to desktop or back even if I save password. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ken Report post Posted January 29, 2007 My setup has all filters including Windows Firewall turned on. Another thought - do you have windows update turned on? If so, there might be a background download happening. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, My computer is downloading quite a lot of updates at the moment so that might be your problem, a little sheild should come up by the time if its downloading something.
