Does this site seem to be running really slow the past few days or is it me?

 

Yes I beleive it is slow, I thought it was my isp

 

I have been having the same problem.

 

Absolutely

 

At least I'm not the only one.

 

Very Slow, and sometimes it hangs and give me an error for that page...

Firefox stinks... I was using it once and it slowed things down to a crawl...

I remember from the old days, anything that had MONZILLA on it, was a problem...

Being I'm MCSE certified, myconnection is totally stealth... I run thru 3 routers... and multiple firewalls.

I followed the directions of the site admin, Amanda, and ran a trace route. It took 21 hops for me to hit the site. Ican touch hosts in Hong Kong in less than 14 hops so there is definitely a problem and not just with Comcast customers. Amanda said they have a dedicated tech team working the issue so hopefully it will get straightened out soon. You can see from my results below the trace spends alot of time in the above.net network. They have hosts identified with airport codes, you can see iad, which is Dulles, then to dca (Washington DC), then atl(Atlanta), and finally iah (Houston). If you go to the AboveNet website you can actually see their fiber lines and they have them in all these places.
