>> Why does it bog down? I was told by a comcast service tech (so this may be totally untrue), that they think that at 9:30 AM weekdays, many people start their real-time streaming quote programs which use a lot of bandwidth. I don't know how true that is, but it seems to slow down a lot right then. Sarmad, This is true. I was trying to make my case with GST that we are far from awash in bandwidth. We have large slow downs particularly on weekday with our intranet which travels over part of the internet. It is not the servers. We have our own. It is bandwidth.
