I am not sure what is going on with my Internet access at the moment… The speed seems fine, but HTTP (web) traffic seems really really slow. I suspect that there might be a faulty web proxy somewhere, but I am not sure here. WWW access from two of my machines is problematic, but connecting to a machine elsewhere on the same ISP using Remote Desktop yields fast web browsing.

I dont think it would be my firewall acting up but it is impossible to tell really. Looking at the ISP’s WWW site says that nothing is wrong. If things are not better tomorrow I will investigate further. But I am finding the performace really really strange. Doing some quick tests it seems to be limited to traffic outside the ‘free’ part of the net… That is I have no problems connecting to another user on teh same ISP.

Anyway tomorrow I will see what happens, and investigate as needed…
