I note that lots of photographers use Flickr.

However, every single time I have accessed Flickr, I have found it to be incredibly slow. Is it just me?

Usually find it very quick.

Whole net seems to be slow today though. This site especially.

It's ok here? It's not the fastest site in the world, but considering what it has to put up with (4,836 photos uploaded in the last minute) I can't complain.

Flickr has had some issues lately but generally I find the site to be very good. No speed problems here.

First time user for Flickr recently and compared to PH even a snail moving across a keyboard would be quick.

Seems to wizz through all the menus/loading etc.

No problems for me either, but they did have something up about site changes happening so maybe it's just a phase.

Is it just Flickr?

Email them and ask if there is any likely cause.

Mostly very quick for me too, alhtough it does have it's bad days. Very frustrating if you have a lot to upload and it decides to go into slow motion! Fortunately its pretty rare.

Yes, just Flickr. I have emailed my ISP to ask them their thoughts on this. All very odd!
