I too experienced 15 to 30 minutes of very slow connectivity. I am contact with our hosting service to keep an eye. Both times I am not convinced that "we" were the bottlenecks of this outage. I will stay on it
Still investigating connection issues. Think the host narrowed it down to our managed firewall we are behind. Let's see if a replacement clears up the connection issues of late.
I've been using Firefox for several years now and LOVE IT!!! I absolutely HATE IE...lol. If it weren't for needing it for Windows updates, I'd totally do away with it.
However, be warned, unless they've fixed the issue, Barrier Reef's website doesn't like Firefox.
