    Last few nights I’ve had problems connecting to US based websites but not UK ones.
    Tuesday was understandble as it was the presidential election – I suppose the net is still busier than usual as a consequence.

    Anyone else had similar problems?

    I have had trouble connecting to BBC iplayer because it says im outside the uk.
    Seems AOL is rerouting me via another country cus they had problems here. Don’t know if its the same sort of problems.

    AOL (America On Line) is based in the USA and only connects to the internet from their central US server that servises their entire worldwide customer base. Thus if AOL is your ISP then because of the way they access the internet, you will always look as if you are a US based user.

    Our connection seems OK – I think it’s probably due to abnormally high internet use in USA during and after the presidential poll. Seems OK again now, touch wood.

    They’re all obsessed with the vids of Barak Oklahoma. Give him the usual honeymoon and then the lefty US president bashers will be on him like a pack of ravening wolves.
