Thanks for the input Penny. That's 3 of us I know of with with the problem - must be more. I'm trying to get Talktalk to find out what's wrong - looks like some kind of incompatibilty between our network setup and the AWS service (in Oegon?) that SL uses. Some TalkTalk users are OK (without VPN) so it's a mystery. I've told TalkTalk that I shouldn't need to go the VPN route .. I'm still waiting for their alternative solution (assuming it's a TalkTalk problem). .

Thanks Odaks / Whirly .. feedback appreciated .. Still no improvement here ..just the same everytime I log on . ..hoping TalkTalk come up with something but no progress yet... problem is that the network is excellent apart from SL

Anyone else having this problem? Last week or so getting horrendous network lag .. packet loss upto 20 - 30% every time I use SL.irrespective of which SIM I'm in or what AV I log on as. I've read and followed every recommendation I've seen about network lag. . SL things like changing bandwidth settings ..clearing all sorts of cashe etc etc , power up / down router ..using both wifi and hard wired connections, different desktop systems, laptops, different Windows versions, running with my firewall (norton) totally disabled, using Winmtr to ping tests to Portland . I get around 60mbps on every speed test and except for the lag in SL (and one other thing), I get excellent network performance. The other thing ? .. I get slow response, sometimes hangs whenever I log onto my SL account and search transaction history. I ping tested that one and guess what 30% packet loss ! Can't change my ISP yet (TalkTalk) and so far they can't figure what could be wrong. HELP
