A CoachT Poll

[Bledsoebtheboys]

Was this past Friday night better than the Friday night before that?

It was still a little sluggish but was much better than the Friday before......

[redbaron515]

Speed hasnt really been a problem with me....Friday nights is a given for the speed to slow down, but nothing extreme. I would stay with whats working...and change servers in the future if its needed. Just my opinion.

[Drewcephus]

Can't say it would make me spend more time on here, but it is slow at times and an upgrade would be nice. Plus, it may allow for more upgrades in other areas.

Will it be much of a cost difference? This site is usually fast for me. Sometimes when I try reply it takes longer than usual but not bad. If you are happy with the company you have now I wouldn't do it but if its not much of a cost difference I think you should think about it. Football is almost over and I would think that is the busiest time of the year. Maybe wait until next July?

I'm on cable and it is slow at times. Running IE 7 and the phishing filter is a little slow. Don't see how I can spend anymore time on here.

 

Try using Firefox instead of IE. It wouldn't seem that it would make a big difference but it did on my pc.

I use Mozilla Firefox as well...works great.

My speed has been good most of the time but I've a 5 megabit download connection.

 

Coach, I don't know much about the amount of bandwidth or CPU usage a bullitin board uses, but if you need any questions answered the guy I use for the hard tech questions (works for Gaylord keeping their system and network up) is really on top of things.

 

One thing you may want to check on your server is how big a switch you have on your server. Dedicated servers usually have a 10 mbit or 100mbit. Changing switches is usually the cheapest thing to do and the techs at the location of your server can do this. The next step-up in switches is a gigabit switch, but thats too rich for my blood. For those of you that don't know what these switches are it's the connection to the internet used by the server, the higher the number the more info that can be passed on to the internet.

 

If you need any help drop me an email with your questions and I'll get him to look at them and see what he thinks.

As someone who has worked in IT for 25+ years, I try to plan to comfortably handle that I experience 90 to 95% of the time. Also, it does not appear to me that the system is going down when demand is at its peak on Friday nights although system response times are lengthened.

 

The bottom line is that I think system performance is fine as it is at least 90% of the time.

I agree Bighurt...I don't see any reason for added expense because it does work great 90%+ of the time. Just recently I have been having the same problems as D2D. Didn't know if it was on my end or a glitch Coacht needed to know about.
