My wifi is usually very speedy, never have issues with it even when streaming lots of different devices at once.

Tonight though mumsnet hasn't been loading, Netflix has been saying 'connection problems' but my wifi is still connected when I check the box. Now TV Is buffering and WhatsApp isn't sending straight away.

Anyone else? I'm with sky btw.

Just MN playing up.

RedRobyn2021 · 13/12/2021 21:37

Yeah! It's unusually slow

U2HasTheEdge · 13/12/2021 21:49

It was fine, then I clicked on this thread and my internet went down Hmm

It seems fine now after resetting it. I am with Sky.

OhPeeQueue · 13/12/2021 21:51

Mines like that too, but I thought it was because we’ve bought a new x box and it was eating the wifi. I just told my DS to switch it off from the wall, and it’s improved. But might happen again. I’m with virgin media.
Sky are shit.

Ours is fine.

Yes and I'm with BT. It's all sites for me but MN is the worst (or maybe I'm just on it more)

ImInStealthMode · 13/12/2021 21:57

Me too and I'm not even in the UK Confused

NameChangeCity123 · 13/12/2021 21:59

Yeah mine is taking ages to load and keeps going off

A vulnerability was found in major JavaScript protocols today/yesterday so many many huge companies and providers will be updating their software urgently. So yes, various websites and service providers will be a bit glitchy as that's gradually trickling through.

Mine has been a bit slow since 7pm

ArabellaStrange · 13/12/2021 22:17

@rattlemehearties wanted to rate your post as informative but then remembered this is Mumsnet and we can't do that, so replied instead...

rattlemehearties · 13/12/2021 22:21

Thanks @arabellastrange Grin

GrandTheftWalrus · 13/12/2021 22:32

I'm on sky WiFi and its soooo slow. My 5g hasn't been working properly either since they upgraded something on my building roof. 5g is on Vodafone.

Bedsheets4knickers · 13/12/2021 22:33

Me too Virgin

Bedsheets4knickers · 13/12/2021 22:35

@Landof

P.s. this is one of the many reasons I love mumsnet because when stuff like this happens I realise I'm not alone!

Yup, virgin media here. Tv wouldn’t connect to YouTube and then Netflix kept stalling on my phone

SirensofTitan · 13/12/2021 22:37

It's taken me about an hour to do an order on the Boots site, I only use it at Christmas and was getting frustrated at how rubbish it was. Seems like I was maybe being unfair to them if it's an internet wide issue

NovemberNovemberDarkNights · 13/12/2021 22:38

Yep!!

Talk talk & Virgin.

Driving me batshit!

Oooh I wonder if Dr Evil is going to pop up on our devices and ask for one million dollars ?

5foot5 · 13/12/2021 23:32

@Porfre

Just Mumsnet. Everything else is fine
I wonder if the poor performance is a contributory factor to why there are so many duplicate posts tonight. I have seen loads of cases where people have posted their response twice
