im guessin ur runnin windows xp if so

bring up the command prompt (start --> run --> cmd)
type in

"tracert www.testmy.net" without "quotation" marks

itll bring up the list of ip addresses it passed thru on the way to test my.net, how to interpret them, i dont kno how to explain, but it shows the times to each bounce and u can see if a certain spot is slowing down ur ping time or somethin, one of the more knowledgable forum members should b around soon

What you can do with this is see where your having issues with lag.. which can then be related sometimes to speed issues..  Also you can see how many hops it takes you to get from your computer to the backbone..  The backbone is the fastest part of the connection pretty much a freeway for the internet.

If you look at mine.. the first 5 hops are all still on insight's network.. So if there were any * or numbers greater than 100ms.. I would call them because they can fix it or they should be able to.

hop 6 is a router that is not responding to ICMP traffic.. Not a big deal is it is most likely the router that  puts the traffic onto Level3's network.  From there I am in Chicago there is one * on hop 8.. this could just be a fluke or a sign that the router is really busy.. however I am going to say it is a fluke because the times that it returns when it does reply back are under 100ms.

After Chicago I head to Denver then to Dallas.  There is one router, hop 12, in dallas that seems to be a little troubled.  This router seems to be under a lot of stress right now and could lead to speed test issues.  From there hops 13-17 are all internal to theplanet, the hosting company of tmn.

i think there is a problem with TCP packetloss between above.net and The Planet, it dosent show in a traceroute since it using ICMP packets.

I have the same problems, tracert is normal but speed went from 30 MB+ to 56k speeds against testmy.net.  Other speedtests is normal....
