Websites failing to load, games lag, but connectio...

Hello,
Hoping someone here might be able to help me out with this one. For the past few days now some web pages havbe been failing to load and games are occasionally disconnecting. However the entire time our connection seems to be remaining stable and connected.
It appears to happen for no reason, and it only affects some websites. bbc.co.uk, google search, and these Broadband forums. Other sites will load perfectly fine, including both the BT speedtest and the ookla speedtest (both of which show our internet speed & ping to be perfectly fine.
I'm at a loss as to what could be causing this issue. I've set the DNS settings in my network adaptor to google DNS to see if that makes a difference, but the fact it affects online gaming in the form of lag makes me thing this is not the case.
I'm hoping to try a traceroute the next time the issue happens, and hopefully have it complete. The problem is by the time we confirm a non-working site and get part way through the traceroute the problem seems to fix itself so we cannot get confirmation of where the issue is coming from.
I'm wondering if anyone else is having similar problems, or has maybe had a similar problem in the past and can suggest any steps or tests I can take to find/remedy this problem?

nothing has been posted here about it have you checked the service status page or the status phone line 08001690199 and see if there is any problems in your area

  • Websites fail to load unless https

    Hi,
    Using either Chrome or Safari many websites will fail to load unless I manually change the protocol from http to https.
    If I don't - I almost always get: 
    I have tried both a wired and a wireless connection and also flushing my dnscache.
    Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

    Also if it helps debug:

  • Some websites fail to load page on safari

    Two websites, Twitter and my bank fail to load properly.  The page starts to load then hangs when the blus bar is about a quarter of the way across the address bar.  The fault is intermittant - sometimes the page loads fine - and it doesn't seem to be the site as if I use another mac the problem is not replicated on it and the page comes up.  I have cleared the cache etc and it doesn't seem to help.  Any ideas anyone?

    You can try resetting Safari using the option under the Safari menu. You might not want to reset everything, so I suggest looking at the options.

  • Flash website is not loading in firefox, but loads in Chrome - how do I debug / fix this?

    When I go to a flash web site that I have a subscription to (stock market data), it does not load, but the same page loads in Chrome (Chromium). That is the best info I have right now. I have latest flash on firefox 18.

    Actually, this occurred to me later this afternoon, but I use Gentoo, which normally builds from source (cuz I am hardcore like that). I uninstalled the normal build and reinstalled the prebuilt binary and everything works. I am happy again and just need to play around with the source build options, which I can do later.
    Thanks!

  • EA6350 fails to load web pages, but all other online services continue working

    Occasionally, when using the internet, web pages stop loading. Other online services such as messenger programs, Netflix, and online games still function properly. I usually end up having to restart the router in order to re-enable browsing. We are using the latest firmware, and only purchased the router about a month or two ago. I'm on channel 11, with only one other network on 11, and my 5 Ghz channel is irrelevant, as I'm the only 5 Ghz network in my area. Is the router defective? Is it a problem with a firewall or other program? Let me know if you need any more information. 

    Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations
    What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
    What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
    Is ISP Modem/Service using Dynamic or Static WAN IP addressing?
    What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?
    Check cable between Modem and Router, swap out to be sure. Link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT6 is recommended.
    Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask.

    For DSL/PPPoE connections on the router, ensure that "Always ON" option is enabled.
    If the ISP modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems: Link>http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/fixing_double_nat.htm and http://cognitiveanomalies.com/cisco-nat-how-nat-works/ If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ. 
    I recommend that you have your ISP check the cabling going to the ISP modem, check signal levels going to the ISP modem. For cable Internet, RG-6 coaxial cable is needed, not RG-59. Check for t.v. line splitters and remove them as they can introduce noise on the line and lower the signal going to the ISP modem. Connecting to the ISP modem could result in a false positive as the signal to the modem could be just enough to that point then adding on a router, could see problems. Ensure modem is working well too. Bad modems are out there as well. The router operation is dependent upon getting good data flow from the ISP modem and the modem is dependent upon getting good signal from the ISP Service.

    Router Placement
    Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
    3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
    Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

  • Apple website failing to load

    Is anyone having issues with loading the Apple website from firefox or safari from a PC. This is an on going issue. What is the solution? I'm tired of looking at the wheel continuously spinning.

    If they are you'll probably find them in the Safari forums, as this forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to your question.

  • OBIEE 11g BI Publisher; New Data Set Creation Error "Failed to load SQL"

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a new SQL data set (from a client machine). I use "query builder" to build the data set. But when I click "OK", it fires the error "Failed to load SQL".
    But strangely, if connect to the OBIEE server's desktop and create the data set it works without any issues. I wonder this would be a firewall issue. If so what are the ports I should open.
    It's a enterprise installation. And we have already open 9703, 9704, and 9706.
    Has anyone came across such a situation?

    Talles,
    First of all you might have more chance of getting a response over in the BIP forum. Other than that all I can think of is: is your MS SQL Server running with mixed mode auth?

  • Smart Menus fail to load fully since update to ff33 ok with all other browsers.

    After the update of firefox to 33.01 and every one since the menu system on my clubs website fails to load correctly the site is quinton-mc.org.uk it uses the SmartMenu system and works perfectly well ia all other browsers on my Linux machine ,

    Thanks Pete

    Thanks for your reply cor-el. I had never heard of nor seen the pref network.http.max-connections until I read about it in some of the replies in this support forum. People were saying 256 was the old setting and a new setting of 48 would correct my problem. When I followed the instructions to get to - see - and change the setting I discovered that my network.http.max-connections was already set to 48. I never did this. The only way I can think of that this setting was changed is that it happened by an automatic update to my Firefox browser. So, the problem I have was probably happening while this setting was at 48 all along. It is still set at 48 and I am still having the same problem. I will try as you suggest and set it to 30 and see what happens. I'll let you know the results. That's again for your response.

  • Some websites will not load in FF. Same websites will load in IE.

    Certain websites will not load in FF, but will load in IE. FF starts to try to load the page, but then stops and "Done" appears in the lower left corner of the screen, which displays as a white, blank page.

  • Pogo website loads and displays but cannot open games; works fine on Internet Explorer.

    For about two weeks now, have been unable to open games on the Pogo website; the main page opens but cannot open any games.
    All works just fine on IE9.
    No work on 8.0.1; installed 9.0.1---still no work as described above.

    Surely, am not the only one who cannot load games on Pogo.com. . . .the website loads in but I get a "connection reset" type message each and every time I attempt to load any game. W7Pro 64-bit Dell Studio XPS i7core. Was properly working in F8 and then just stopped doing so; upped to F9 but still have same problem.
    Ideas, anyone?
    BTW, Pogo works just fine in IE9.

  • Website wont load at home but does at work!

    Hi everyone,
    www.buoyweather.com wont load at home but does at my work! I cant figure this one out. It worked fine a week or so ago but since then it fails to load. I dont get an error message, it just sits there trying to load it. The next day at work it works fine. I have tried firefox, chrome, safari etc and still no luck. I havent blocked the website in my preferences either. Every other webssite seems to work fine.
    Help!

    It definitely sounds like a router issue... especially if both your Mac and your phone can't access the same site when using the same router... but can access it elsewhere.  My first thought would have been what JK was suggesting (a DNS issue)... but the direct IP address he provided would have worked if that were the case.  The site you're going to isn't that common so it would be a pretty significant coincidence if that site were just randomly blocked for some reason.  It seems more likely that the issue is related to the fact that you visit that site.  Have you tried resetting  your router?

  • Internet appears connected but pages fail to load after 3-5 minutes!  HELP!

    I purchased my Macbook three weeks ago and it immediately found my network and connected. A few days later my computer failed to load internet pages (both in firefox and safari). The connection would not disconnect, or seem to slow. I diagnosed and found no problems. To get it to work for small amounts of time I turn off airport and then turn it back on and get a few minutes before I get "Problem Loading Page".
    I have updated the firmware in my router. I use a D-Link Router WBR-1310 and a D-Link Cable Modem DCM-202. I have called my cable provider, Comcast, and they tested the connection saying it was strong. I connected directly to the modem and it never failed to stop loading pages the full 20 minutes I was connected.
    My computer has no problem connecting to other connections: The Library, neighbors, my parents' home. There are no time outs and it automatically connects through Airport, no problem.
    I have called D-Link about the router. They're a bit confusing in troubleshooting the problem. They told me to connect my Ethernet cable to the computer and manually put in IP address, subnet mask, router address, and name server address. First, I don't know where to find any of that except for the IP address. Secondly, do they expect me to connect and leave the ethernet cable in my computer?
    Have there been any problems with Macs and this router? What am I doing wrong and has D-Link given me good steps to take? My experience with them hasn't been so great so I'm skeptical. All of this is very upsetting, I can't enjoy my new Macbook at home.

    Yes I had read about this. The point is, especially with something such as wireless, it has to inter-operate with everyone else out there. You would think Apple would do some testing before going to some "recommended" standard that obviously is not widely used in the real world. To someone who just bought a new MacBook, it doesn't matter that Apple is using the "new" recommended way. They just want to be able to connect everywhere they go.
    No, networking is a world of standards and recommended procedures. This all used to be a lot easier when there were actual engineers who understood the RFCs running most networks.
    You seem to think Apple just throws software over the wall. If that's true, you should swing by Cupertino some time and see if you can meet with a member of their software test groups; I'm sure they'd love to know that you think they don't do anything.
    Or perhaps Apple is supposed to test their software with every ISP on the planet first.
    And how many people posting in these forums have said when they turn Airport off and back on, then things work again for a while. If the issues are on the other side, why would that make any difference?
    Did I or anyone else here say that changing to OpenDNS' servers would solve every issue with every person in each and every one of these threads?
    But there have been many cases where switching to OpenDNS' servers does solve people's network delay issues. Hmmm, I guess Apple's cluelessness doesn't apply in those cases.
    Come on. He connected directly to the modem and was loading Web pages for 20 minutes without any problem. He goes back to using Airport and the problem reappears. And you think it's reasonable to assume it was just a coincidence that the supposed DNS issue went away while he was connected to the modem and reappeared when he went back to Airport?
    It depends now, doesn't it, as I just said.
    Perhaps he tried "surfing to a few sites" while connected directly, and when that worked he went back to AirPort. Did he try going to the same sites? Different ones? We don't know.
    In fact, even if he did visit the same sites, that wouldn't tell us anything either way as the DNS resolutions for those sites would have been cached when he was connected to the wired network.
    This is the same thing that has happened to me since upgrading to Leopard. My wireless started going bad after some minutes of accessing Web sites. If I rebooted the machine, it would be fine again for a while. I finally just turned Airport off and plugged in an Ethernet cable. I have not had any trouble with accessing Web sites since - same ISP (Comcast), same DNS servers.
    Tell me there is no Airport issue.
    I never said there weren't issues. No one did. Except you implied I did.
    Your approach to troubleshooting seems to be "Ah, Apple's software is broken, why bother."
    1) There are many people whose problems have been solved by switching to OpenDNS' servers. That's fact.
    2) There are many ISPs who have broken DNS servers. That's also fact.
    3) Comcast has a variety of DNS servers spread across the country, so your results in Colorado may differ from those of a Comcast subscriber in a different state. Fact again.
    4) You asked for reasons, I gave them, you don't like them. Obviously I must be an Apple shill. Funny, I'll have to ask why I haven't received a paycheck from Cupertino. Ever.
    I understand your frustrations if AirPort isn't working for you, but don't turn around and drop into troubleshooting threads and tell people why suggestions we're making can't possibly address their issues just because they haven't solved your particular issue.
    That would be just as silly as me assuming that because I haven't seen an AirPort drop since 2007, all of those posting in threads here are simply delusional or incompetent.
    The only way to find out what's wrong in each case is to be methodical, and step one in diagnosing network delays is to see if DNS is at fault.
    If it is, great, problem solved. If not, on to step two of a nearly infinite sequence.
    One step at a time.

    Swipe to the right from your home screen and do a search. See if the app shows up. If it does - tap on it just to make sure that it works.
    You can swipe from screen to screen to look for it in order to find the icon. It may have ended up on a far off screen or in a folder somewhere on the iPad.
