Hi Trystan

I'm in Australia using broadband - last night my time (about 2pm GMT) I got a message - looking rather like the FreeBDM busy message) telling me the server was very very busy & to come back in a couple of hours. Posting and opening threads had been very slow.

15 minutes later all seemed OK but still slow. Now 11.30pm GMT (I think) all seems fine.

It looks like we'll have to break open the piggy bank and give the server a New Years' present very soon then....  Wink

I'm in a small town in Queensland, Australia and I have ADSL Broadband and have experienced no problems whatsoever in recent days.

Hi Folks,

Well, if you're in the Antipodes as I am, things are just fine!!  Perhaps you folk in the UK should try accessing RootsChat in the wee small hours when your fellow UK genealogists are sleeping!

I have found it varies with this page created in 0.12 something or other seconds while others are around the 35 - 40 second region.

Posting seems to take the longest ..... but I had put it down to the very poor NTL servers I am stuck on..

Generally the access has been fine (in fact I wondered what the fuss was about!!) but just had several msgs in a row that rootchat is too busy to display at the moment.   Undecided

Am using dial-up and trying to access pms.  Located in Gloucestershire.

Have found rootschat invaluable and have made e-friends as well as finding out info and having fun searching for ancestors less elusive than my own!!
