GRO Website not loading

Anyone experiencing any problems with the GRO website. I have been unable to acces it for days now.
Unsure if there is any overload, due to any recent TV programming. I am in Australia and unsure what current trends are!!

Hi Lyn

Are you an Optus customer?

Quite a few Australian rootschatters who are Optus customers are having problems accessing some sites in the UK.

I use bigpond and have been on the GRO site today.

Cheers

Hi Cando & Trish
yes I use Optus, but I have never had this problem before. Like others, I was enjoying the quick turnaround of the GRO just before Christmas and thought I would continue.....
