I wonder if this post will go through.
Yay! I got through. First time in 3 days. Probably be OK for a few posts and then bang.
The problem I have is that in recent months I've found the problem getting increasingly worse. In that time there have been no updates to my android or iOS devices yet the response with the forum is worse.
If I switch and go online with my PC at the same times of day, I don't get the same problems. This would seem to indicate that the notion of forum backup at these times is not the cause of mobile device connection problems.
By the way I'm connecting via wifi to the same router at home as my PC connection. When I go mobile over a 3G or 4g network there's no issues.
