For the last few days my BBS response at home has been, well, glacial.

You're in the USA, right?

Doug Burnside and I spent a good portion of the evening last night debugging this. Here's how it breaks down:

- The BBS sucks through both Doug's home connection and Doug's work connection.

- The BBS sucks through my work connection.

- The BBS zips along just fine through my HOME connection.

So we did traceroutes, and I looked up the providers. Guess what? The sucky connections all use BBNPlanet as their provider for the transatlantic hop. The fast connection uses Level3.Net as the provider for the transatlantic hop.

So I think that could be it: BBNPlanet is having trouble with their transatlantic connection. I'd call them, but I wouldn't know what the hell to say. Anyone have any ideas?
