This isn't an anandtech problem. It's an att, comcast, fios, etc.. attempt to screw over a little tech site forum. There is not an issue on AT's end at all.:rolleyes:

All of my wireless devices have shit reception but only on anandtech. If I use cellular data I can browse anandtech fine, switch to fios and anandtech dies horribly. Browsing the forums is like using dialup. All other sites and streaming is fine. Did Anand do a crappy review of fios or something?
I had this problem last week.

Run a traceroute. 5 ATOT Points says that it's the same route you use to get to Netflix.

I have no problems at home with netflix. It's superfast. I'm not at home right now but will run the traceroute when I get back.

I have no issues with Netflix either. I also have no problem getting to the main Anandtech site. I will run a tracerroute when I get home though.

I tried it last night and on a cabled 50Mbps connection it loaded way slower than other sites. Weird.

I am on FIOS 15/5 wireless (2 notebooks) I am using openDNS and page loads can take 2-10 seconds (USA- southeastern Pennsylviana)
Hope this helps

I'm not switching to opendns servers for something that affects only one site.

Also, 10 seconds is ridiculous for anything less than isdn.
