[Jayczar]

3-4 sec /Columbus, OH /Insight Comm.

 

[Regs]

Last week it was 5-10 seconds on a 1.5 mbit connection and on my works T3 network. Now it's more like 2 seconds, if that.

 

[Markfw]

7 seconds, west coast USA (Oregon) 1.5 mbit cable.

7 seconds west coast USA (Oregon) 1.5 mbit cable.

 

[Varun]

Saskatchewan Canada, about 10-15 seconds with 1Mbs cable, it seems to pause for a good 5+ seconds when loading.

 

[Ikonomi]

Southeast Texas on SBC DSL (1.3 Mb/s), 4-5 seconds to load fully. Everything loads before that except for a few images, and there's a pause contacting the images.anandtech server.

 

[Nohr]

Under 3 seconds for me. I'm in east Texas on Cox-internet 1024/128 cable, using Mozilla Firebird 0.7.

 

[blodhi74]

about 5 sec on cable in chicago

 

[Dulanic]

About 8-9 seconds for me, 768 down DSL, the headers load within 1-3 seconds then it takes a while for the rest of the page to load.

 

[venk]

Michigan, Comcast Cable. The front page doesn't load

 

[Paulson]

header comes up, have to wait about 10 seconds before the rest of the page loads

256 wireless connection (I have no problems with the forum speed though)

 

[compudog]

4 to 5 seconds with a clear cache. Pennsylvania. Seems pretty fast

Well, it froze for over 20 seconds with something labled "zipzoomfly" as loading in my status bar.

Same here. When it shows the ZipZoomFly ad loading it always takes 20+ seconds.

 

[billyjak]

In the Central area in Kenosha.WI
It was taking about 20 seconds to load on cable.
Now it's about 9 seconds.
It's been very slow for awhile.
Just started to improve.

I've got the same problems... have for about a week now. In EVERY case (both here at home and at work) it seems to stall on ZipZoomFly .jsp items .... or perhaps that's the last thing displayed and the stall comes immediately after.

[Adul]

it is about 7seconds in IE or mozilla for me

I'm in Phoenix

 

[tallman45]

Mine hangs at zipzoomfly load

 

[Jojo7]

About a week and a half ago, it was taking 15ish seconds. I cleared cache and it seemed to help alot and brought it down to 6-8. Now it's back up to 10 or so.

However, as of right now, it's loading very fast (under 2 sec). Faster than it was about 20 min ago.

I'm on cable.

 

[brentkiosk]

A little less than 5 sec on cable in ME (either Netscape or IE).

 

[Shagga]

50 seconds. UK (ISDN 64kb)...went and made a cup of tea...

 

[CurtOien]

I have a V90 modem connected at 45333bps and live in Minnesota
Checked it twice, both were about 25 sec.
Cleared my cache and it took 1min.15sec.

You need to update your sig to say January 2004!
Are you seriously still waiting? Only took 2 weeks for Tiscali to install my ADSL. And that was with a few problems as well.

12 Seconds now. And considering this time`ll be busyier than before(more US/Can`s online), thats pretty good. 4 second improvement.

 

[mosco]

4 seconds or less if i clear my cache using safari with verizon dsl in massachusetts. With cache its pretty much instant.

 

[GTaudiophile]

4 seconds right now, but it had been hanging on the zipzoomfly ad.
