Hi Adam,
I can't speak for freeserve, but I use NTL. They have a transparent web proxy between the customers and the Internet. On occasions the proxy screws up, and the response time for web pages is /very/ slow, while ssh works fine.
what you are describing sounds like a similar thing, not much help I know ;) Sz

Hi all,
I wouldn't normally ask this on the Alug list but I am not subscribed to better places to ask this.
Anyway, I just signed up with freeserve not much more than a week ago and their data transfer for webpages seems abysmal? I just telneted to a server that I know is fast and issued a GET / HTTP/1.0 and I could interpret the html faster than it came done the pipe!
I know my bandwidth is ok, as ssh works fine to my shell account and ping flooding freeserves main webserver makes the blinken lights stay on constantly while looking at the modem.
Anyway my basic question is has anyone else noticed that freeserves Netapps are completley ****** and not wanting to give webpages even if you ask them nicely? or is it something more localised on the Freeserve network?
Adam
