- my addiction has been denied -

from 0200 hrs to at least 0600 hrs GMT
i was unable to access the update server
- or the Vendetta utility ran - then hung
after saying 'Checking Update Program' and not doing anything

as of 0650 hrs GMT the updater is working apparently
however.... after giving login name and password
i get 'Connected - Loading Objects'
which then appears to hang -
after being left for 10 mins,
i am given my pilot list - i picked one....
after 15 minutes he loaded

i was unable to do anything -
my ping apparently
was last at 130 max at 2048
yet sentences took around
8 seconds to appear -
not always in the order they were typed and sent
and often echoed unexplainedly from several minutes previous
(this last episode was between 0700-0800hrs GMT)
apologies to all who witnessed the spam =(

i have tried repeatedly to connect anyway -
(0930 hrs GMT last try)
i get the same overlong loading periods after
both login and pilot picking


please help

thanks for your time

P.S.
i can still stream movies fine ;)
and have both contacted my isp
and used www.speedtest.com to confirm
that my connection rate is ok
