We've just moved offices and are still waiting for our new broadband connection to go live (next Monday - why does it take BT five working days to do this, and why don't they work weekends?).

I've been using broadband for several years now and you forget just how slow a dial-up connection is. It is interesting to see how quickly different sites load. Our new Bruce Marshall Associates website (which is still very much a work in progress) is reasonably quick.

Sometimes it is hard to figure out why certain sites are slow. For example Neville Hobson's NevOn is quite quick, while Tom Murphy's equally excellent PR Opinions is excruciatingly slow.
