Forum speed on Mobile Broadband

[AlanS]

Hey Alan, I know this is an old issue by now, but I would like to add that since it is a company laptop it's probably not the website or your browser.

If you work for large firm with secrets to protect you probably have to connect by 'tunneling' in using special software and they have your connection going through a proxy, firewall, and web filter. I bet you have a securID don't you?

Also the slow loading logo might just be a symptom of some other element on the page, like the google ads or something. You could take it up with your local support and use some other site like Yahoo Finance as an excuse. If you have good honest local support maybe they could at least explain to you what could possibly cause some loading hangups.

Thanks James for that constructive comment. I work in IT so am aware of the various security elements our organisation uses and they are significantly more than the domestic user chooses to use.

Guess I've just learned to live with it. Other forums are marginally faster but that is not to say much quicker.

Sometimes the large image gets cached and things go at a fair pace then for no apparent reason go into "see the page elements render mode".

Better safe than sorry eh.

Oh well, it was worth a try. I guess we all have to make some sacrifices for the sake of the common good (shareholder).

I'm in IT infra. Nice to meet another IT guy on here.

James and Martin
Greetings.
Good to know IT people can turn off and enjoy the joy of music whatever their taste may be.
Do you think IT work makes it hard to be as subjective as some members here?
What about burning in hard drives?

I don't think so, although my engineering brain is always wondering at effects I can hear and the mechanisms for them. My appreciation for excellence in engineering has determined the equipment that I use but I am down at heart a music lover who loves its power to communicate as much as the next man.

My name's Alex, and I'm an IT guy too. There, I did it. My soul feels cleansed.
