Hi,
I am just wondering whether others have noticed that the connection to Tiscali broadband (maybe it happens with other ISPs too) is sometimes difficult during peak times. I usually have my home network disconnected from the net when I am not using them. If I tried to log on during peak times (around 20.00-22.00) it happened to me several times now that I could not log on. Initially I thought there was something wrong with my router/modem but I am certain now it is not.
Thanks for responses.

since everyone recieves internet access from their own ISP, the more that are using the internet the slower it will be

That's correct. The internet is a contention based network utilizing CSMA/CD. Ergo, the busier the network, the slower it's likely to go.

I know, but do Tiscali users or users of other ISPs find they are UNABLE to connect during busy times?
