We have to recognise that volume of traffic plays a big part in how fast we can access a website. When you do it in your office, it is working time and the traffic volume to SBF is less - that's why you can access very fast.

When you do it at home it is usually between 10pm - 1am which receives the highest volume of traffic - that's when you faced those problems bros have just described.

Try surfing early in the morning say 6 am. You will find it is a breeze because traffic volume is minimal.

Sorry bro Compassion but I beg to differ and I've been monitoring the situation quite closely for over a month....

Most of the time I login from 11pm till 2am and I use both IE and Firefox. When I login using my ISP, I'll have all the symptoms that the bros here faced (slow, DNS error, database error, login already still brings you back to the login page).

However, when I login thru my company's VPN (which the server routes to US and back), using SBF is smooth as silk... Both IE & Firefox works without a glitch...

Traffic or ISP...? I'm sure bros here can draw a conclusion...

I am not too sure coz I never surf SBF from office. When I am at home, I try to surf SBF and other International sites at the same time. I notice the SBF pages are either slow loading or DNS error or page not found, etc... while all other International sites are OK. I think SBF servers are overloaded with heavy traffics from Ah Q's or Cecilia's fans

yes at certain times logging in and surfing is very sluggish...the only other time experienced such sluggish speed from SBF was during the upgrading of the server..

On the part about having problems with the login and password, I've recently found out and solved the problem when I changed the website address in my bookmark from forum.sammyboy.com to www.sammyboyforum.com.

I find that the time between 10pm-12.30pm is very hard to access the forum and very laggy

If it is an ISP problem, then whatever site you serve will give you the same problem. When I hit into problems accessing SBF site, I tried other international sites and the problems disappear. If it is not traffic how do you explain it?

When I serve early in the morning when most people are still asleep, I never encounter those problems we are talking about. Again how do you explain it?

Using a company's leased line increased the speed tremendously and also weed out other traffic. That's why there is no glitch at all.

Maybe Boss himself might want to throw some light into the situation.

Probably something to do with the fact that all singapore ISP route connections through their proxy servers.

My sentiments exactly... I think proxy plays a very important part here. Filtering/prioritizing traffic by the ISP could be the possibility... The problem exist regardless whatever the time/day I surf SBF...

Thanks for answering boss...

I am not saying ISPs don't play a part in the problems we encountered. When they sense heavy traffic to a particular site they filter/priortize access to it. So it is still a traffic related problem regulated by the ISPs. I never have any problems surfiing during the day time esp in the early mornings. BTW my ISP is Starhub using max-on-line.
