I, too have been looking for "man in the middle" or "pipe"problems.

UNIX TRACEROUTE shows some problems with the close-in servers in Milpitas.

Most of my problems are timeouts -- and the fact that Vanman posted the same thing ~ 50 times on the last debate thread (having received no feedback from FR) makes me suspect the problem is data flow outward FROM FR -- rather than internal speed or FR's response to INcoming data...

~~~~~~

But my big surprise was when TRACEROUTE showed FR's DNSs (Domain Name Servers) in Germany!!

Network Tools says: "62.116.181.25 [ns2.robinson-defehr.com] is from Germany(DE) in region Western Europe"

Final hop: 62.116.181.25 25-181-116-62.rev.customer-net.de

I hope that's not some sort of "hijack" going on...

This IP stuff gets weird, sometimes...
