    Optiboard slow?

    It seems to me lately the board has been sluggish in responses, page load times, and posting lately. Anyone else noticed this? We recently upgraded to 16 Mbit service and the rest of the web is very speedy.

    try this...

    start -> Run -> type "cmd" and press enter.

    type in the black dos prompt

    "ping optiboard.com" and press enter.

    what are your times?

    then try in the same dos prompt

    "ping 65.38.185.38" and enter.

    What are your times?

    This is one site I can count on to always be up and running like it should no matter at work with DSL or at home with Comcast. A lot of other sites run slow for me though which I sometimes attribute to the amount of advertising junk they have to load up on the page to keep them afloat.

    29ms here. I guess its the computer here that is slow, not the net.
    A lack of planning on your part DOES NOT constitute an emergency on mine!

    Optiboard seems fine to me. Also, pinging a site doesn't tell you anything whatsoever about how long the site may take to load and function in your browser.
