I have had the same issues with slow loading pages at RCTech which I am of the understanding belongs to the same company as RCUniverse? I even get a few pop ups on RCTech from time to time.
Things have been good here for me since my last post no matter what time of the day I sign on, so I'm hoping it's at least fixed for me.
no sadly they are not gone
one bad router can bring traffic to a crawl
I remember when I used to play WoW a few years back I had 4 second latency for almost a week as at one point the hop stopped responding.
My buddy oddly who had the same exact ISP, and lived only 4 blocks away had a latency of 100ms. Did a trace rout comparison and mine would just die at the 9th hop which he didn't get.
Think of it like a highway people go flying down going 55mph till they see that one person who had an accident and all slow down to look causing massive congestion, but in this case it would be either a router dying, or being hammered by a DDoS attack, and for some reasons ISP's don't change your routes very easily it seems.
As for ads slowing it down... what ads? I've never seen an ad on this site
