That's interesting, does anyone else find bbc.co.uk to be any slower than other sites? I can't imagine why anyone in Durham (where this commenter said they lived) would have a particularly bad experience with bbc.co.uk, even JANET users should have fairly good bandwidth links and our servers certainly aren't running at capacity on a normal day... While I know there's a lot we could do to speed up the experience of bbc.co.uk users, we certainly don't think we're slower than the average site. What does everyone else think? Brendan. PS I'm not going to comment on the Glasgow Herald article!

"hi this seems like a great initative! Online and flexible is the way forward. However I hope that BBC does NOT give up on fixing the bugs in its system. It is the SLOWEST website i have ever used. plus the downlaod doesnt work for me and there doesnt seem any way of getting support from the bbc to fix this. I really hope they read this!"
