Who is the network running these hidden varnish caches? This is 90% of the problem with the internet. These caches misbehave all the time yet nobody notices. Occasionally, like this morning, I actually get an error message bringing the hidden nature of these caches out of hiding. Notice I am...

Dear MyBroadband. I, like many other people, have been on your site and forums since inception. Have come to know you as what you claim to be ie. "Trusted in Tech" but these days it appears you are more interested in media that has nothing to do with IT and when something important happens like...

Every day from around 1:30pm we have a massive slow down in this area. After 6/7pm it speeds up again. It's not a line problem nor an ISP problem as we have tried Telkom, Axxess, Afrihost, Mweb and are now currently with PLUGG who still seem the best overall. Every afternoon from 1:30 > 5:30...
