Ping times are ok, however the throughput just isn’t anywhere near what it should be. Has anyone else been experiencing this lately or am I just the lucky one?

This was the best test result tonight regardless of server

Well worth the time if you’re interested. For me, it cemented an  obvious need for facebook (or anyone else for that matter) to do some evolving in online social architecture.

Simple uploader, java uploader, 3 different browsers… nothing.

Upload failed. Upload failed. Upload failed.

By the sounds of it I’m not alone so it would appear facebook is failing on a large scale at this time.

Anyone have any further information?

*edit*

As of Sunday, upload operations seem to be functioning again.
