I've been discussing it with the support guys again this morning...

Quote from: Tech support
Hello,

Thank you for contacting Support.

I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. I could see that you have over 20,000 visitors last month. Database has logged high levels of traffic in the last week. We have optimized database again. You need to move your account to VPS if traffic/footprint of site increase.

If you have any further questions, please update the Support Console.

Sincerely,

Ariel Danson
Technical Specialist


To which I replied...


Quote from: Barman
What do you consider to be reasonable traffic...?

I currently have 5 users and 6 guests on the site and it is too slow to use.

Our traffic hasn't increased dramatically since we moved the site to you (in fact it is probably lower) yet it used to be much faster...

Barman


They check the site every now and again and tell me it is working fine (and close the ticket). Then I re-open the ticket and tell them that it is not...

I think this last message is a step forward - the site statistics prove our traffic has decreased (33,000 visits in March, 20,000 in September) yet my complaints and tickets have increased!

A lot of the problems I get here, in the top left hand corner of Wales, are directly related to lack of fibre optic.
Slowness applies to all internet use.
That said I have spoken to my ISP and they have, by means of  some upgrade to local (ie local to me) of cabling, increased my average download speed from 2.3 to 14mbs ..... that and a little patience seems to have solved most of my problems .... although the VP deffo runs slower than "The Other Place" most of the time.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

Note: this morning's speed test above is still slower than 53% of GB.

Is anybody connecting wirelessly...?  rubschin:

If so, you need some of this - you can buy it through our Amazon link!

Job done!  inane:
