Hi All..
Since last night i am having trouble with accessing online banking.
Is anyone else having problems with http://www.nwolb.com/ ? It takes ages to load and sometimes doesn't load.
Paul
does seem to be taking longer than normal :dunno:
Could it be DNS? Try OpenDNS.
Very slow here too, although I don't usually use it, as I'm not with NatWest. I'm getting this too, which I haven't seen for a while:
The Internet browser you are using is not supported by online banking. Use the link below to see the complete list of browsers we support.
:dunno:
thanks.
i will contact idnet tomorrow as loading the site is fast on my works connection.
Can't access Halifax online or Natwest banking, Windows messenger is taking an age to sign in too. All sites work immediately when accessed through a proxy. Good old IDNet. :(
Halifax and NatWest both working for me now, except NW still doesn't like my browser.
I did have a problem with Natwest yesterday, but at the time i thought it was my pc running slow.
Slightly OT
Speedtest (http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/results.php?t=1228949969&v=5769013)
Great speed but browsing is painfull at the moment, getting some page load errors, other pages taking 10-30 seconds to appear, IDNetters being one of them. My post about the disgracefull behaviour in Parliament took ages to go through.
I use IDNet's DNS as primary and Open DNS as secondary (in my router)
The weird thing is it's not consistant.
Time to give the DNS server a kick?
I'll alert IDNet to the thread.
Thanks Simon. For what its worth, i've not noticed any problems surfing tonight using idnet dns.
Works OK for me :)
I've not noticed any problems on any other sites, and I've been doing some Christmas shopping this evening.
It sounds like there's possibly some routing funnies going on.

That's exactly the same symptoms I'm getting. Speed tests are always excellent, close to the maximum my line will support, but browsing is very, very slow, with quite a lot of failures. Even when pages do start to load, large pages take ages or time out, which doesn't sound like a DNS issue to me.
Now it's later in the evening the problem appears to have reduced quite a lot. My guess is it's a capacity issue again, but whether it's IDNet or elsewhere I no longer bother trying to guess. Everyone blames each other in this industry :(
I've also had a phone call from a friend also with IDNet but on a different exchange complaining of the same problems.
Just logged into my online bank (Halifax) no problems.
Also followed the link no problems here,hope it helps :fingers:
Well, it's no secret that IDNet have had some capacity issues, much of which was due to being shafted by the great BT, but things have been quite settled for some time now. Maybe it's just due to increased traffic with people shopping online? :dunno:
I've asked IDNet to let us know if they find anything.
Nationwide also on a go slow. :(
HSBC is fine.
I wonder if it may be related to the MS Update's?...then .. what do I know.. ;D
its seems to be only https:// playing up as http:// worked fine all night.
Natwest online banking is now loading fine, seems to play up between 6pm - 11pm for me.
Nationwide is slow before the security pages. ;)
hmm, idnet trying to stop us loading online banking to save us money for xmas ???
;D
:clever: :hehe: :thumb:
The NatWest link is fine for me. Nationwide have their own internal problems which they are working on - slowly!
Simon has come back to me, saying he can't spot any obvious problems, but will keep monitoring.
I've had a word this morning as I found the three banking sites I visited were all in treacle mode - perhaps it's just the season, I've noticed a lot of online shopping sites are a bit sluggish... :dunno:
HSBC, Nationwide, Cahoot, ING and Barclaycard all flying for me this morning. :thumb:
Yup, they're much better than when I checked half an hour or so ago...
There's your answer, don't get up so early.. ;D
:rofl:
I wouldn't have done but Sue wanted to get out shopping. :)
Give her a key to the door and tell her to leave quietly. ;D
If Sue has to get up, I have to get up. ;)
Further training required. ;D
Give me time, I've only been working on her for 37 years. ;D
:lol:

Presumably you won't get breakfast otherwise? Just tell Sue that the bacon doesn't cook itself and she should be more considerate of your needs!
Isn't bacon also supposed to be good for black eyes? ;D
Thats actually a myth, Simon. Its the sausages, mushrooms, hash browns, black pudding, fried bread, egg, tomato and beans which go along with the bacon which is bad for the black eyes!
:rofl:
Oh, you've made me hungry now, Lance! ;D
Not to mention me. ;D I have to add a sad 'those were the days'... :'( Sue once did get up and cook me egg, chips, bacon, sausage, mushrooms and beans when I had a 4am start. I'd consider getting up that early for another breakfast like that. :)
I haven't had a breakfast like that for as long as I can remember, but it's more due to time issues than health.
In my case, it's the other way round. :)
I rarely have a cooked breakfast, but I enjoy it very much when I do. :)
Do it while you can, Seb, before they tell you it's too unhealthy. ;)
They told us that a long time ago. :P
But were you listening? :)
Nope, I do as I please. ;)
So did I at your age. ;D Only start to listen when you have to. :)
I never eat breakfast, I have elevensies, I have usually been awake at least an hour by then. ;)

Taking ages here aswell.

28 seconds and gave up,its very slow
No stamina, David. I kept going for 100 seconds! ;D

You can tell who are the youngsters around here. :whistle:
