Problems with Betfair website this morning

Gary, will this have an impact on BA ?

At the time of writing I am still unable to access my account via the web page, but using BA all seems fine.

Thanks,

Ray

Cancel that - just managed to log in after 30 minutes of trying.

Generally when the website has problems so does the API so proceed with caution. Another user has already reported that the API did have problems. See http://www.gruss-software.co.uk/forum/v ... php?t=5145

I have managed to get into my account, but it takes a while.

I have not read anywhere about a problem, but everything seems to be going very slow, as in it takes a few minutes for an event to get the data from BetFair to move on. I have stopped betting for now as normally I get stung when it comes back on.

Has anyone heard from Betfair?

For what it's wroth, it's been a nightmare on Virgin Broadband around my area today.

London, I've had number of issues with Virgin too and I'm in the west country. Last summer it was the same and I think the extra load with kids finishing school seems to have an effect. It's the upload speed I have problems with, not the download, but whatever the cause, its a pain in the butt. They tell me that next year they'll be upgrading their upload speeds. The sooner the better.....
