How do I know if the zone network is having a problem versus my IP of comcast? When the zone gets slow I don't want to blame that network but would rather try to figure out if comcast has a problem. Any suggestions?

I think most of us just ask the other people logged in if they're having problems. If they're not, you're it. If you want more concrete results, there're sites you can go to that will test your speed by sending you a file, and seeing how long it takes, then they tell you the speed. You might try that.

Yeah, I ask people if they're having problems if The Zone slows down, but mostly, I guess it was the College network playing silly buggers, not like our nice speedy network here at home.
