Which it never does for long which is sort of a shame as a continuous fault is more likely to get fixed than an intermittent one :(
See this is what's happening to me, just timeouts all the time. I thought it was VM too but then other times it works ok and other times it jams. It's worth noting that a forced new IP didn't help and it also occurs on asahicks.com which I presume is on the same hosting plan.

I also note there's a downtime message with a link to a youtube on BBC1 downtime music. I think we still outfab with the ITV Schools thing. :)

Maybe asa should consider dreamhost so we can get the kickback... i mean because it is rather good.

I'm on VM (ex NTL/Cable&Wireless/Cabletel) and I've not had any problems with accessing TVF.

Post of the Week this week has to be tvmercia's wonderful destruction of jrothwell's ghastly post in the BNP Question Time thread.

Being a paragon of self-restraint, I can't say what I wanted to say about azza5570. :|

I've not had any error messages, but the site has started to timeout on me virtually every visit (I'm on plus.net).

No current TVF issues with BT, so far!

I get those messages, not often though. Reading this I thought it was VM issue but it also happens on my BT connection.

TVF perpetually slow for the past 10 minutes, am I the only one? :(

I'll edit this post when it's working for me again but if you, Dear Reader, could try and access it before it is that would be grrrrreat. (Try a few page clicks/refreshes too in case you're 'lucky'). I'm after confirmation that it is (or is not) a general problem along with ISP details if you wouldn't mind!

EDIT: Working again for me
