Anyone seeing problems with The Planet servers today? Connections are slow as moss growing for me in OKC.

:( I'm glad I use them just for my cheaper accounts, otherwise my number would by ringing off the hook.

Got a trace to show us?

Well you must live next door!
That is an excellent speed... I can't even get to my ISP's homepage in that time...

Are you sure it is not the server itself?

I'm in OKC, OK. Opening their website www.theplanet.com takes an incredible amount of time. My free/cheap hosting clients sites are all draggin through the mud.

I think it's time to find a new reseller account to put my free stuff on.

Your trace doesn't show any slow hops as far as I can see. Have you checked your average server load?

Just 0.17 (I'm assuming that's alright, as we are primarily a windows host, and I'm not real familiar with the ins and outs of server load on Linux)

Whoa, spiling to .34 I'm assuming that's still okay? mem usage of 49%

You're trace looks perfectly fine to me...is the site(s) in question the ones in your sig?

yes sir, those are a couple of the one's crawling.

Both the sites load fine on my end here in NY.

They (the planet's site and yours) also load nearly instantly from both office DSL and Level3 backbones in Los Angeles.

Both load pretty fast for me and I'm in the UK. ;)

Give'm a call, and see what they say. It migh be just you subnet.

Thanks guys, My connection at home is pulling the sites without a problem. I will see how things are tommorow, and call the planet if same problems are going tommorow.

I don't see any problem with the traceroutes, could it be apache settings?

Maybe one of your log files exceeded 2GB limit? Had such problem before...

Okay back on my network at work, same problems slow connecting to anysite there. I called the planet, and they are having no problems at all. My ISP is looking into it to see if it's an issue on their end.

I know it's not the planet though cuz I can see if fine from home, and other spots.
