I've been having this problem a couple of weeks now and I've really exhausted all solutions.

I have a website and it loads perfectly fast in networks outside my home. But 90% of the time, when I'm at home, the site loads like 10 times slower. The browser just hangs at 'waiting for abc.com...' for a few minutes and sometimes doesn't even load. It is so bad that I cannot manage my site from home.

ALL other websites load perfectly normal from home. My server only has this one site.

What i've tried:

- disable antivirus
- remove router and connect direct to cable modem.
- check with server-side if there are any firewalls blocking my IP
- use different browsers, IE & FF
- check with network providers if there are any DNS problems
- REINSTALL windows

NOTHING seems to help. Is there something else I can do? The only thing I figure left that I havn't done is to replace my cable modem. However since all other sites load fast and normal from home, i figure that it is quite unlikely a modem fault right? What do you think?

Wld really appreciate experts' help! Tks.

You should a tracert from both places and do a compare.

The results should be able to tell you where is the bottleneck.

starhub most frequent ports like port 80 and P2P are always jams with traffic and problems


i used starhub ultimate

starhub surfing the net has a real bad experience

i only like starhub because i used VPN ports to my datacenter
and it is real fast on those ports only

http ports and many popular ports.... real bad experience

only with VPN connected to my datacentre... i do not have any problem surfing the net

hmm..... so no solutions? do you think it is a problem with my modem? just that replacing my ultimate modem is costly and i don't wanna buy new one without knowing for sure.
