  Hey, recently for the past week I've been having trouble with the game on several browsers i.e Iron Browser, Google Chrome, etc.. It is terribly slow the meter is sketchy most of the time and I am getting TICKED OFF about it. I've cleared the History several times and Shut Down the Computer for couple minutes seeing that will work but it is not helping.. 

  
  

   

                                               PLEASE HELP A PLAYER OUT WGT!!

  I'm also having same problem, also getting stuck at 42%.  Have also tried everything suggested, with no luck.  Could it not be a setting on the modem, or something to do with the modem or connection to the internet?

  I have the same problem.  Also have same problem with other laptops at home. Could  the problem not possibly be on the side of the Service Provider. I am with IS. Who is your Service Provider?

  I have the same problem and spoke to my service provider who informed me that this is currently an international problem. Two of the links that link us to the international server are down and all of the international traffic is being rerouted through other links. Unfortunately the other links are having difficulty with the load and there are slow speeds and packet loss due to this fact.

  Having the same problem but i believe it is my internet servers fault and not WGT's. Because every other site is slow. I am extremely mad!!!!

  I have the same problem and spoke to my service provider who informed me that this is currently an international problem.

  I just did a few speedtest.net tests from Phoenix, AZ, USA to:

  Johannesburg, SA  Download 1.8 to 2.6 Mb/s  Upload 1.2 to 1.8 Mb/s Ping 345msec

  Durban, SA  Download 2.4 to 3.5 Mb/s  Upload .6 Mb/s Ping 702msec

  New York, NY USA  Download 9.9 Mb/s  Upload 5.3 Mb/s Ping 180msec

  Tempe, AZ USA (cross town) Download 13 Mb/s  Upload 9 Mb/s Ping 75 msec

  Overall the I-net is pretty slow, I ran 22M cross town yesterday after getting a new modem from my ISP.

  Looks like your ISP is giving you the straight scoop.  400msec Ping rates are poor and indicate 3 - 5 % packet loss.   Pingtest.net graded my connections to SA a D. "Concerning. Most online applications will not perform well but should function in some capacity"

  So what are you saying?

  Just went over to my grandmothers computer and it is running like a dream so it is not WGT's fault.

  To be clear, that would apply to the slow loads. It shouldn't affect the gameplay given that that's done on the local machine. It does make for some tedious matches and I believe it started last night. Guys were timing out in AS all night but not getting disconnected. Trying to get an AS match going today is like pulling teeth.
