Mike,

"But I have had a terrible time accessing SI via my cable modem for months now."

FWIW (or a shot in the dark), a bunch of folks were discussing this very issue on the Welcome to SI thread a few months back. Their access to SI using a cable modem was terrible. They reported that their access to other sites wasn't nearly as bad. They found that turning off the proxy server fixed their problem. No idea if this could help you or not, but thought it may be worth mentioning.

Good luck,

Steve

"I have the same problem with @home.

Turn off the proxy and direct connect. It sped it up 20 fold.

Not sure why SI was hurt more than most other sites, but it sped up immediately and is reversible. Turn on proxy, slow down SI. Turn it off, good response."

"It worked! Disabling the Proxy server was the answer. I had to go into Tools/Internet Options/Connections/LAN settings to do it. (It was the LAN settings that I didn't know about last night)."
