Starting this past weekend I noticed the rapid fire updates became slow. I'm on a 3 sec. update interval but it goes all over the place to as much as 40 seconds or even more some times. I looked at some other stations and they were doing similar things (no way to know what their update interval is though). I restarted all my networking hardware as well as VWS and that didn't help a thing. I'm pretty sure they must have something going on there. My rapid fire updates have always been snappy fast before this weekend. This morning my webcam was 8+ hours over due for an update and the main page showed black so it would appear that there are some issues right now. My cam is doing okay now but the rapid fire is still sluggish.
I have noticed the rapid Fire Update intervals varying quite a but here too. So far it has still shown to be in rapid Fire mode though on mine. But times are sometimes nearing 30 sec to refresh/update.
I first though my latency problem was back with my DSL but a quick ping test shows that may not be the trouble. I suspect there may be some load balancing issues with their network as far as this is concerned. But as long as it doesn't start nagging me with errors I'll be good with the deal anyway
Maybe there has been a surge of weather station purchases for Christmas and many are signing on and over loading the systems resources
But that's just an under educated guess on my part LOL!
