Raven's website very slow to load only on one ISP

My issue: Raven's site barely loads on my home isp connection. Load times can take minutes for one page. This only occurs on my home ISP Cavtel.net ; Cavalier Telephone DSL. This problem replicates on all 3 computers on that network and occurs on both IE and Firefox. I've tried turning off anti virus / firewalls etc to test the slow loads but nothing seems to affect it. No other Nuke site (including my own) replicates this circumstance.

I've done trace routes to ravenphpscripts and a few other sites for comparison and there is no observable difference. No other website or traffic experiences this kind of delay.

Any ideas where to look next? Thanks

Does this happens all the time ? I have really noticed the opposite since a few weeks and I´m a daily guest. Smile

24/7 unfortunately. Same laptop on different connections (work and elsewhere) it loads normally. It's been going on for proabably for the last couple months. Again I understand it doesn't make any sense but I sure can't isolate a reason for it. Cavtel is a smaller phone company so I doubt I'll get anyone else on the same service to verify it.

Are you on a dial up service?
Hard for me to tell as I have a high speed connection but its rare for me to have slow load times here even when the sites is busy.

No, it is DSL, there's something goofy going on since it is only this site, and no others. The only thing I haven't cut out of the picture is my router, but I can't imagine why it would bog down on just one site.

80 to 100 milliseconds

i see,well i tried for fun and mine is between 104 and 106 ms.
so that means its not your connection....

Thanks, last step is to replace the router now, since I'm away from home and pulling down the site are a "normal" speed on the same computer. It still perplexes me that it only happens on this site.

well it still leaves some options that can cause this...
but thats pure technical...
