…why?

It’s 2021. Isn’t there a better platform?

Glad it’s not just me. Very frustrating tonight.

spinningspaniels · 31/07/2021 20:27

I've given up twice.

EverythingDelegated · 31/07/2021 20:29

We've had BT out to repair our broadband. I just commented to DH that I hope its just MN that's creaking, not the broadband again.

Redhotchilis · 31/07/2021 20:30

Glad you've mentioned this, I was beginning to blame my WiFi. I'm on the verge of giving up

MaMelon · 31/07/2021 20:30

Same here. Obviously a quiet Saturday night for many of us and we're using up too much of the allotted MN internet space.

TheGriffle · 31/07/2021 20:32

I thought it was my crappy WiFi!

LividLaVidaLoca · 31/07/2021 20:32

I keep turning my wifi off and on again 😏

TooBigForMyBoots · 31/07/2021 20:33

It's so annoying.

GetTaeFuck · 31/07/2021 20:34

Not just me then!

iPhone safari, on both my WiFi and data.

clickychicky · 31/07/2021 20:36

I wondered why I was struggling, thought it was my wifi and couldn't work out why my partner was able to use his fine.

gamerchick · 31/07/2021 20:37

Yeah it's a bit hit and miss tonight.

Chickenyhead · 31/07/2021 20:38

I've reset the WiFi twice 🤣

TreeDice · 31/07/2021 20:40

Same here!

JovialNickname · 31/07/2021 20:47

Oh I thought it was just me, ta for the heads up

MumofSpud · 31/07/2021 20:48

I have just blamed my WiFi aswell!!

ifigoup · 31/07/2021 20:49

It’s so, so bad.

mm8989 · 31/07/2021 20:50

painful! my dial up was better.

Floralnomad · 31/07/2021 20:51

It’s been like it for hours , glad it’s not just me .

IWillWashTheGreenWillow · 31/07/2021 20:53

Oops, I blamed DH for watching things online! It's been glacial since about 3pm.

GetTaeFuck · 31/07/2021 20:53

Also, the arseholes are out in force tonight, posting vile things on sensitive threads and I can’t seem to report them.

dementedpixie · 31/07/2021 20:59

Yep, it's awful tonight

TooBigForMyBoots · 31/07/2021 21:01

It's pretty much awful every weekend now.

BinkyRidesForth · 31/07/2021 21:02

I also thought it was my Wi-fi! Why is it so bad?!

DynamoKev · 31/07/2021 21:03
