Intermittent slow uploads
Hi,
We are experiencing intermittent slow uploads to box.
The problem is more likely to happen with the API, but has happened across both the API and uploading using Web. When the problem is happening the Box connection diagnostics will show upload failure to multiple box host names. (but download is always OK)
Here is an example of the upload failing;

We have opened a support ticket, 8 days ago, but so far the only recommendation is clear browser cache (which is really not the issue)
We have spoken to our ISP corporate support, they are sympathetic, but see it as an issue outside their network. (which it probably is, and I can't diagnose that without help from box.support)
Does anyone have an idea of how to help?
When the problem happens it's bad news for us.
