I dont know if its just me or not, but recently, SL has been subject to horrific lag. TPs not working, profiles not opening etc.
I dont think its my connection, I have an 8Mbps connection. There is also a huge amount of package loss. Just thought I would being this up.
EDIT - Add to that searches not working and money transfers not working. Money that you have isnt appearing either. What the hell is going on?
