I think many of us are VM, but certainly not all. It is not a congestion 
problem, I think, as I have had the problems early and mid-evening, also 
approaching midnight and this morning, before work, just after 7am. That 
tends to rule out congestion and contention - though not, of course, 
routing.

This evening, is an uneasy truce with d/l taking place but somewhat fragile.
