Message: <blockquote data-quote="Henry" data-source="post: 1329299" data-attributes="member: 158">No offense meant, but the term "SLOW" is written all through that tracert.I'm curious to know where the three "timed outs" are, because they are right near your ISP - in fact, assuming your ISP is or is affiliated with Sprint in some way, they happen BEFORE they get to the main routers, suggesting a firewall, or an internal router. After that, those 300+ millisecond access times, while not the slowest I've ever seen, are a little on the sluggish side, even for dial-up. (about 195 - 225 ms is common for dial-up. And your PC has to go through EVERY SINGLE HOP listed there.It seems that those "time outs" could be your closest source of trouble, because it takes a LONG TIME (relatively speaking) for "pings" to time out. Three of them could mean that(A) it's failing multiple times at the same location, or(B) Three separate locations in line are giving you a hard time about getting to cyberstreet.The fact that it's not every time (you said the reply pages were pretty zippy) suggests a sporadic problem. If it's only happening at ENWorld, I cannot offer a satisfactory explanation, other than maybe a fault content filter program.If anyone with specific expertise at addressing TCP/IP issues wishes to chime in, feel free to do so, and supplement what I've said, or poke holes in what I've surmised, at your leisure. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
