How do you all know this? i have been having long waits lately for pages to load, too, but always thought it was the site I was to reach rather than the Insight Connection. How can you tell?

But I am so dumb when it comes to these numbers and ports and pops and IP addresses that I have no idea what belongs to whom and who belongs to what , but I have been having loading troubles lately.
