Try www.speedtest.net When the map of the US opens try hitting several different places. For me (in NC) Lexington, KY is fine (normal ping, 10m bit down, 1 mbit up), OTOH Atlanta is 100k down and 10k up. I was getting reliably high speeds to specific places such as Dallas Tx but reliably poor to chicago, NY etc. Further if I open a dos box and PING google, Yahoo, MSNBC, Microsoft etc. I get timeouts. If I ping www.Extremetech.com I get normal ping times. If I ping 4.2.2.1 (a domain name resolving system) I get 14 ms pings. I had Charter's "tech support" on the phone for an hour and they said "uhhh... Yup... It's not wurkin" and are sending a tech to my house. However my "neighbor" about a mile away has exactly the same problems. I just thought I'd ask a wider audience if anyone else in the US is seeing these symptoms. I have a tech coming to my house but they won't find anything here, of that I am certain now. John W.

Seems to be a bit slow today and I've had to refresh with Google a number of times because it came up blank. I can't get a video feed from CBC either. _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
