The problem is NOT only on our side!!
My meter has been perfect since switching to max3, but today it has been horrible. I have cleared every possible thing there is to clear and it's still awful. I can shut down my laptop now without making any changes and when I log on tomorrow my meter will probably be smooth again.
It seems to be more of a lottery lately, to be fair most days my meter is fine, but days like today, I should rather go play lawn bowls or something.
