neil Neil Ticktin Registered: 06/05/08 Posts: 1076 Loc: Westlake Village, CA	So, apparently, there's some nastiness out on the net today between the providers, and this may be causing issues. Let's see how it continues over the days to come. I'm actually out of town right now anyway, and it's a bit harder for me to look at things.

Jim_ aka Reboot Registered: 04/21/02 Posts: 11340 Loc: Columbus OH	Forums or main site; I got the same times as Michael from 4 different locations plus here at home, around 80 ms. All connections are at least 8 down and 1 up. I tried a couple of places I manage remotely too out of state. I disconnected while the ping ran BTW so my remote desktop connection wasn't interfering. It seems things load in pieces, like they are coming from different places. The logo always comes in first and fast, then I'm waiting on the rest of the page. I've noticed over the last few weeks it's one of the slower sites I go to. Sometimes it loads okay, maybe it's from cache or something, but usually it lags. I have tried different DNS servers too, no difference. Running speedtest.net to San Francisco from here I do get the same ping time as MacTech, but the page draws are much slower than many places, CNN, MacWorld, RipDifferent, Roxio to name recent ones, probably 3-5 seconds extra time to load the forums, sometimes more, compared to loading in maybe 2 or 3 other places. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

neil Neil Ticktin Registered: 06/05/08 Posts: 1076 Loc: Westlake Village, CA	So, things are definitely loaded from different places. Some are from the forums server, some from the main site, and some from Google. We'll see if we can figure out how to make it better. _________________________ Neil Ticktin Editor-in-Chief/Publisher, MacTech Magazine Editor-in-Chief/Publisher, MacNews Check out: MacNews \| Mac Community Search \| Sponsored MacTech Magazine Subscriptions
