Problems with delaware.net (slow AO)

[Hexis]

I don't want to bash your ISP, but it looks to me like they are having some link saturation on their UUNet connectivity.

A couple web based traces from different areas show the same thing. High latency and dropped packets at the boundry between UUNet's network and delaware.net's network.

I'm only seeing announcements for their network via UUnet so they prob only have connectivity through them. Maybe it's time for them to get another pipe.

I thought it was just me. Thanks for the heads up.

[shartley]

I concure…. This has gotten quite bad.

[TheSneakyPengui]

Mine was so slow last night I didnt even bother, and I have a cable modem, but all the other sites were fine, but it seems to be a lot better this morning. Peace

[LaW]

I also ran some traces last night and came up with similar results.

[Restola]

yeah just replying to this thread has taken over 2 min. first time i typed it didnt send, then it wouldnt load the typing page again, then i went back to the main thread which took a while to load, then waiting again for the reply screen to load.

yeah its slow.

[Bwaites]

Same here.

Took more than two minutes to download the thread, and more than a minute to get to the reply screen.

Yeah it has gotten pretty slow lateley. :rolleyes:

[AGD]

I will get on them today about it, I am slow too. They were gearing up a second pipe last week and that might be part of the problem.

[shartley]

Woo Hoo! Now we are cooking again.....

Tell them to not touch a thing. LOL ;)

According to what I heard in chat from Jon from Delaware, they're installing new T1 lines today so they can double the out-bandwidth from Delaware or something to that effect. It's moving along just fine now for me.

[Webmaster]

Im tryin to stay on it - this is what they told me "We were testing our new t1 and it's not going so well. We'll be taking it offline asap."

so - bear with us...

[MAGS own YOU]

Its been quite slow since last night.
