The last few days I've been experiencing slow-to-load webpages, particularly on graphics.
I'm on the Time-Warner cable system in NYC. I've done about all the local troubleshooting I can, e.g. disconnecting router and going straight to pc from cable modem, checking cable connections at splitter (high quality splitter), checking symptoms on an entirely different pc (same problems), resetting the cable modem, disengaging popup blockers, clearing caches, cleaning temp files, etc. Essentially, there's not much left for me to check here inside the house.
I've done several traceroutes, and they show low pings to various servers/websites.
My speedtests haven't changed. Getting about 5 mbps downloads and 230kbps uploads (normal for me).
Remember, I get the same web surfing symptoms on an entirely separate pc...slow to load websites.
Now, is there a way for me to identify the choke point(s) for my browsing sites so I can go to Time Warner and identify a particular server/router?
I'd be interested in a freeware app that will show me exactly where I'm slowing down at the time of the slowdown. Again, my traceroute apps don't reveal anything.
Note: I've ruled out the remote websites as a problem. I've tried so many at various locations around the nation and world that it can't be a remote issue at a particular site.
