Websites getting "stuck"

[Pooky]

I find a lot that I am having to refresh websites, sometimes more than once, in order to get them to load.

They just sit on "waiting for..."
Also sometimes, a bit of the page loads and then it doesn't do anything, just sits on waiting for again on some page element.

Is there a reason for this that can be fixed?

Who is your ISP?

Mweb. But this also happened when Telkom was my ISP and also when I have used prepaid from Afrihost, Webafrica, and Axxess.

Hmm, can't find any network problems.

Perhaps you should ask Telkom for a port reset?

They have done that before, didn't help.

Had this since Monday morning (reported on another thread), still continuing today. Only international sites, local is fine. Downloads are also as fast as usual, only browsing is a problem.

Hmm mine has been going on for about a year or so.

Checked your dns settings?

Mweb Uncapped here, got the same problem (since Mon morning), their network notices have listed it as 'resolved' but I'm still getting intermittent connection.

Network status:

The problem is currently listed under 'other' although if you scroll down ADSL you will see the 'closed' entry.

What should I check with them?

Im getting similar issues (with telkom) Images tend to fail at loading fully and when I try save them, the download cuts out as well as other downloads (programs etc) >_> It's rather annoying.

Thank goodness I got a program that at least lets me download files and doesn't end up having the download only get halfway and then cut out and force me to redownload. Not sure if it would be allowed to be said here. But anyways. It's really annoying me having to refresh pages etc >_>

I would like to add that now I have the same issue, websites take longer to load.

Problem solved!

I phoned TI support and the operator acknowledged that they have been having problems with proxy servers since Sunday. He gave me a server address on 196.43.9.21 and port 8080 and the improvement was instant!

Use: 196.207.40.167 & 196.2.48.140 or see: www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm; find some more local DNS servers here: http://www.cocacola.za.net/images/dns.txt

Resolved for - Uncapped (50GB) Fixed IP address accounts with MWEB.

Whats happened is when the migration happened recently happened and MWEB took over the Cisco routers from IS. What the technician was meant to tell you was to change your DNS settings on your Server.

Change them from the IS settings to Mwebs 196.28.80.139. (alt 196.28.80.140).

Its been a painful week.
