dantilley Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Is it just me, or has Wikipedia become incredibly slow over the last couple of days, to the point where it's barely usable? The most I can get from any page is a plan text version (i.e. no CSS), and even that can take 10 minutes to appear for even a short page. Connecting on True, generally a decent line, all other sites are fine... Is this a known problem with Wiki? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sateev Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'm on a Smartzone WiFi system (which is generally crap), and their lines are True Highspeed, and Wikipedia opens just fine. Generally, your local ISP may have problems with their proxy/cache server (like Squid), and it shows up as slow access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash77 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I've also experienced these same problems with Wikipedia at work. At home on TOT Wikipedia works fine. I thought it may be something our IT people did, but perhaps its our ISP (don't know who the ISP is). So no, its not just you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haveaniceday Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Working Fine here 3BB, I agree with the post above 100% Not related to the OP, but any major ISP using SQUID should be shot,,,,, but TIT, they probably are !!!! Many Thai games arcades pretending to be internet cafe`s use SQUID. Edited February 28, 2012 by haveaniceday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantilley Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Now the home page displays fine: admittedly, I don't think I've been to the main home page before just now, I always went to bookmarked inside pages, and also the home page I'm seeing could be cached. Trying to go to any non-home page still won't display - it seems to be getting stuck on something coming from bits.wikimedia.org. Not tried at home (on TOT there, same as flash77) but will do later.

Pib Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Wiki working fine for me...I'm in Bangkok on a True 20Mb DOCSIS (cable) internet plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudolus Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Check your IP address by typing into google My Ip - it will display it. If you have anything other than a number beginning 58. then restart your modem a few times until you do. True keep sticking people behind a proxy which is a load of rubbish basically and incredibly slow. I also think it filters content as well but that might be just me.

dantilley Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 My IP doesn't begin with 58, but then it never has and Wiki was working fine before. This is a network connection at work, by the way, so restarting the modem isn't an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantilley Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Wiki at home (TOT) works fine. Must be a True thing... one of those things that will just sort itself out eventually I hope...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
