Thanks very much for replys.
I use wifi which has excellent signal and have checked my speeds which both upload and download is fine so dont think its this.
Thanks Jim but i too use Maxthon and have always found it great. I recently downloaded another browser just to check and found exactly the same issue which only made me even more sure the problem is from within my laptop.
Recently lost a consecutive days played streak of nearly 500 over this so obviously im eager to have it sorted.
Thanks for all your suggestions
The battle continues LOL
