There's nothing to agree/not agree with, its a fact not a guess. I work in this field as my full time job and know first hand the problems of slow websites.
Its all down to the hosting server and their demands. They may host several hundred, if not thousands of websites which during peak times slow them all down, not just oOple.
And the main reason Facebook, youtube google e.t.c dont suffer the same issue as much is because their site is spread across the world on many different servers, and as Mick B said, they have a much bigger operational budget than oOple does.
The only option oOple has is to either increase its bandwidth, which will cost many ££££'s, or change to a better hosting provider, which again costs £££'s.
Maybe oOple should charge everyone £5 a year to become a member to pay for its running costs.
