D3ads Posted April 20, 2006 Report Posted April 20, 2006 Recently we've been getting this sort of thing happen on certain sites when browsing the Internet: The content is irrelevant, they're just examples, some pages for other games on IGN don't fuck up in that way and the main index is fine. I don't have a clue what is going on with this, it seems to happen on random sites, for instance IGN, a local message board I use and the BBC pages. Sometimes variations of this apply, like sometimes the page is repeated about 3 or 4 times or there's no site page, just html in text format with no pictures. It doesn't always do it either, sometimes pages load perfectly and other times it messes up. I thought this was an IE problem but it does it in Firefox as well, so I'm officially stumped I've asked around a bit and no one can tell me what's up, plus i can't search the web for this as it's hard to describe FYI the pages capped in this thread reside here: http://uk.pc.ign.com/objects/568/568306.html http://forum.rocksoc.com/viewthread.php?tid=12873 I think if you check them out you'll have no problems like me. [edit] I forgot to mention that spyware/bugs/virus checks etc come up blank... Quote
Fletch Posted April 20, 2006 Report Posted April 20, 2006 seems like a connection issue, like you're dropping packets and IE/Firefox isn't getting chunks of HTML Quote
Thrik Posted April 20, 2006 Report Posted April 20, 2006 Didn't switch to NTL's '10mbps' service, did you? Quote
D3ads Posted April 21, 2006 Author Report Posted April 21, 2006 We're still on 1MB as far as I know, we have a 3GB limit for bandwidth but so far it's not been a problem, unless that's what it is. Are you saying that this most likely NTL's fault? Quote
Thrik Posted April 21, 2006 Report Posted April 21, 2006 As Fletch said, connection issues are most likely the problem unless you are not sufficiently scanning for viruses and spyware. I mentioned NTL's 10mbps as it is notorious at the moment for giving terrible connectivity, so that'd be the first thing I'd look at. Going over the cap would also probably cause problems. Who knows what NTL does once you do. Your problem is too generic to really be specific. Quote
D3ads Posted April 22, 2006 Author Report Posted April 22, 2006 Time for a phonecall then methinks, gah. Thanks for the help, I'll let you know what happens. Quote

My broadbands been going haywaire of late in a similar way, so that sounds like it may well be the problem. Quote
