P.S Flashware

I have moved my Mar 4 trip out by one week, so unfortunately I will not be able to get you into the F lounge
No worries, BCL it is

The whole idea is great in concept; it's just they need better hardware for the site. While I have not been denied access, it simply takes too long eventually load and to do anything.

I just did some timings:
  1. Click Lindsay's link: austfreqflyer_qc: February 2007 - 50 seconds until the Feb pages loads.
  2. Click Mar - 45 seconds.
  3. Click a date (e.g. 9th march - 55 seconds for the page to finish loading.
  4. Enter details, click [submit] - 75 Seconds

There you go, it took 4 minutes to make my 9th March Entry; this on industry strength WAN. Dial up might be next to impassible.

I think you need to look at your end of the process. I just did the same thing and each page loaded in less than 4 seconds. and that is from my home ADSL connection, via an IPSec tunnel to the USA and out to the Internet from there. So even included the IPSec overhead.

Re: QP Lounge Meetings

Still won't load for me at all, tested on Amcom Fibre, Amnet ADSL, iiNet ADSL (using different PCs, and different DNS servers). Very odd..

Re: QP Lounge Meetings

Takes about 15 seconds to load calendar over our work TPG ADSL connection.

Can sometimes take up to 45 seconds, other times no connection at all.

For a test I tried through dial up. The first two steps above took a bout 15 seconds; the second crashed with an error after 3 minutes; never got to step 4. So the site seems quite unreliable.

Anyway, until some consistency arrives FOR ME it's too much of a pain for to use ...

Hmm, strange. I am consistently getting sub 4 seconds on all pages from that site. Never had anything more than 5 seconds. I have tested both via my IPSec tunnel and USA gateway and direct to my ADSL ISP. Both tracertoute at about 15-18 hops (until their firewall blocks) and around 410ms consistently.

The only thing I do a little different to most people is run a reduced MTU on my PC due to issues with firewalls blocking the ICMP Fragmentation Required return packets and to improve the efficiency of LLQ.
