Lately (past few weeks) I have been experiencing very slow connection to LYN. Other sites were superb for me - facebook, gmail.

I asked Malaysian friends if they have they same problem, but they said it was fast.
Note - I am at oversea.

Is it the server location? What should I do to improve connectivity (to LYN).

LYN's server is in Malaysia IIRC.

The best you can do is use a proxy which has an international link that is fast to malaysia.

"IF" the proxy not under streamyx/TM ,

errr....isnt it caused by the damaged underwater cables thingy??

have they even finished fixing it yet?

That's the reverse of what I experience this morning. I can't surf lowyat and yahoo. Pinging them result in slow respond but can't load/refresh their website. By the way are you using Streamyx or other broadband?

After 2am i can't surf into lowyat.net or even thestar.com.my

Google no problem. Some locally hosted sites also down for a while. Refreshed my IP still the same.

Freeproxyserver.net to access LYN also same result, but finally can access but very slow. In the end, I went to sleep and its OK at 7am.

why ar?

I cant even surf LYN around 2 am last night, got resetted my modem several time. connection to google and other international site were good.

when using chrome, sometimes the browser hangs.

since we're on this topic,

lowyat becomes very slow around 4am - 6am +8GMT . and past midnight the "Topic Subscription Reply Notification" emails will begin to lag. ie: timestamp shows it was sent 3 hours before i received it

corad, 4am-6am is when we perform our daily maintenance. The site shouldn't be very slow though. Please let us know more about the slowdown that you experience.

On the issue of delayed mails, I looked at the 304 mails delivered to you in the past 7 days. 97% were delivered under a minute, 2% under 3 hours, and 1% under 6 hours. Those 3% usually happens due to high load spikes or the intermittent network outages we've been facing these past 2 weeks.

Added on February 9, 2009, 2:20 amIt's a complicated problem to diagnose since you're very far away. Anyway, provide me a traceroute to forum.lowyat.net and I'll send it up to our provider.. and we'll see how it goes from there.

banner loads well, but the rest of the site just stops. it does seem to be waiting for some of the adverts to load tho.

after 2-3 minutes the index will start showing but threads take about 4x the normal time to load.

thanks for the interest

Streamyx users have problem connecting to Lowyat forum today. Other users from different ISP doesn't have problem connecting.

YEAH....it happen to me too.

20 minutes ago, I wasn't able to connect.

My friend in Taiping still unable to connect to Lowyat forum till now.

I was unable to connect to the forum as well 20 minutes ago too. What happened?
