Wow, an awesome question.
I just asked and our company here, uses the same ISP as I have at home, which would account for the similarity in user experience between home and office. Time Warner

What's interesting is we moved all images / script requests onto Amazon CloudFront specifically to speed that stuff up. Yet 55% of the time is spent on them? Hmmm.
When I access from Australia the site's pretty damn good. However, 2 data points means absolutely nothing.

Actually I knew I was setting myself up and was actually interested to see if anyone commented. You did, which means I have a handle on a perf issue now which means I can work to improve it.
Interested in helping us iron out some kinks? It won't hurt a bit...

Hey be careful what you say, we don't need him testing the limits of your blind love.

I assume they truncate your money and not round it to avoid periods?

And then route all the truncated fractions to this guy's[^] payslip?

So here's a terrible thought.... Do any CP contributors we know work for that bank?

Judging from some of the articles I've deleted recently, possibly.

Chris, you know what the cockney rhyming slang "Barclay's" means?

Barclay's Bank.
Yeah.

Actually "Barclay's Banker" - the second word is the rhyming key and is normally dropped e.g., Butcher's [Hook] = "look", Ruby [Murray] = "curry".
I'll leave you to work out the translation, otherwise we'll need to move this to SB!

I knew that.
I also believe that you Aussies have your own rhyming slang following a similar model (isn't Oscar [Asche], cash)?
Sorry, I didn't mean to teach granny how to suck eggs, but I wasn't 100% certain if you knew the translated term (as Canucks generally don't!)

Many online forms ask for a 10 digit telephone number.
Some insist on no spaces, others require spaces, still others
require a dash and some want the area code in brackets.
Is it that difficult to write code that accepts any
reasonable style?

As they require alphabets - plural you could always reply cycling through Roman, Greek, Cyrillic and for the numbers Ascii, ebcdic and unicode encodings for the punctuation. Of course strictly speaking you should include the complete alphabet in each case.

Here in the UK we don't tolerate that kind of crap. Sometimes the back-end falls over, but the customer-facing side is licketty-spit.
But seriously, my Blackberry Z10 has an app from my bank which is a joy to use. Presumably reasonably secure as well. I can see all my dineros in big font detail that fits the phone screen perfectly.
