Response times freezing for 7 seconds IR

[greenfingers]

Has anyone else been experiencing lumpy response times the past 2 days? I've been getting a price-refresh freeze of about 7 seconds about 3 times during every race, it doesn't seem to be happening pre-race.

This is a subject close to my heart as response times are important to what I do. For me, the response times have been OK over the past few weeks but I have found the browser interface very slow, so I suspect Betfair have been doing stuff behind the scenes.

Sadly, because of their ludicrous polling system they still have in place, everything to do with Betfair will gradually slow down over time as traffic increases.

Thanks Doris.

I'm fairly sure the problem was with my ISP as eventually my connection was dropped completely. I was just asking if it was a more widespread Betfair problem as lumpy response times are often a precursor to a full crash as I'm sure you know.

I've been onto my ISP support and the line checks out fine now and response times were fine yesterday.
