3. yea over the past several weeks I have tried several browsers

The browsers are several flavors of Opera, IE, Firefox, Seamonkey, and Chrome.

I've done tracerts and pings. I've notified Skinner and talked briefly to Elad. I've done a download/upload test on speedtest.net.

Restarted cable modem and router several times.

I really don't think it's my machine, LAN or even my ISP. I've notified Skinner twice, so I'm not going to annoy him any more.
