I
believe there is an outage probably in Telecom's ATM network (perhaps at
Netgate) (possibly in ihug's, but the ihug MOTD -
http://www.ihug.co.nz/cgi-bin/motd.pl?b.addis.telecom.atm.problems
- indicates otherwise).  As a result I've been seeing 25%-60% packet loss to most New Zealand sites, and it seems to have been about this bad for much of today.  This very heavy packet loss results in extremely slow connections or in cases basically complete nonresponse.

I'm fairly sure there's nothing wrong with sharechat itself, and as I type this things are looking a lot healthier (packet loss has dropped back to less than 5%), so hopefully things are going better for you now?
