Site response time VERY SLOW lately

[JustSomeone]

BosomBlaster, if you are in FL, like I think you are, then you should be getting a fairly quick response time.

I am in FL (how did you know that?) and yet the response times remain crazy slow...much worse than they used to be only a week or so ago.

Our servers get a 15.5MB throughput. I can only think that the problem might be on your end? Try your luck at www.speedtest.com

I should also mention that there is less that 200 miles between my servers and your home... Yet a traceroute sends your 30+ hops/requests in this order:

1. Small Town, Florida (from your home, multiple points)
2. Atlanta, GA.
3. San Fransisco, CA
4. Tampa, Fl. (to my datacenter)

My point is that you visit this forum, the data packets are sent all over US, before they hit my servers. The trip for your data packets should be shorter. You may want to have a conversation with your ISP. Ask them why their routing is all wonky.

Here is the traceroute information for the geeks:
