Why is this site so slow

[attroll]

For me it loads the headers fairly quick but then to dogs right down. I have never had it timeout. But it can be really, really slow at times.

If you look at the tracert David you'll see where the *'s are is where it's timing out kinda, and looking at the hostmask says SBC which is probably your ISP which means ISP issues! At least that's what I remember how tracerts work....

A few intermediate * are nothing to worry about if the final times are ok (and 70ms is fine, the average from the uk is over 110ms). What you also have to remember is that most routers give a very low priority to icmp requests, so pings and trace times from them can sometimes be misleading.

I'll bring that up to my manager, considering I work for an ISP - that's coming from that ISP (we have a 10mb DS3 connection). ...

Like I said... it was just for fun - I'm not complaining. Most any other sites work plenty fast for me (my bandwidth usage is not capped :P) Downloading files (especially in network) are much much higher than on my 4mb/1mb cable connection at home.

exact same thing for me.
I am on a 12Mbps connection too.
I had one * in my trace route for this hop dllsbbrj01-so000.rd.dl.cox.net [68.1.0.177]

vb.com seems fine tho.
