I am trying to connect to BBO using Flash and a very slow internet connection.
Yesterday I got as far as loading the advertisment banner then it was hit or miss if I got signon screen.
Today, I can't signon at all. I either get as far as loading the advertisment or stop at a blank, white screen.

The Flast version should usually be better than the download version with a slow connection -- it doesn't need to download as much data when you login.

I'm having this identical problem now, but with fast internet (two different locations, same laptop--the one I always use). I've tried restarting and forcing to port 80. It sometimes blinks the "loading bar" at me, but in general I just see the advert banner and a blank white screen. Any suggestions?
