In the past few weeks, the time to load up pages has gone from 6-7 seconds to the 15-20 range. It's gotten so I need several windows open, hit a link on BF, then read somewhere else while my progress bar churns away.

When the page finally does load, it snaps into place rather quickly. So, there's something causing fairly high latency, rather than strangling the bandwidth. Here's what I know:
- The problem happens on Cox cable modem, also on my shared T3 at work
- Ping is a bit slow (60-75ms)
- Traceroute gets to about 13 hops then starts to bog down and die at 'theplanet.com'

So, are you getting these complaints from other people? Or, is this isolated to San Diego?

We used to, but I haven't read any in a while. Traceroute while a good tool, can get bogged down by protected networks. I use a standard dsl at home and a dedicated 1.5 full duplex fibre at work and don't have the lag times you do. My ping is in the 80ms range as well.

I do know this Joe is still planning on installing the new server. He has had some db problems with the move and has been trying to iron them out before the big move:)

Last few days has been painfully slow. I don't come around as often now, I just wait til night to look at what the haps are. Happens on Cable or 45mb cons
