Yeah, work building is a government scientific lab with some high-end computing facilities so has been on big networks a long time... I'm not surprised the post-building route is entirely different than it is from my house 1-2 miles away (office might even route things through high-speed centers in Boulder or somewhere for all I know). It *is* odd that Murphy's site is the only one I've ever, ever noticed such a substantial difference in the faster-at-home direction, otherwise the lab is faster for everything I've noticed. Maybe you've been committing treason and are being filtered by IntSec, Murph-Y? I should try my office's wireless, which is wholly separate to-outside-only for visitors and I think goes through standard local phone co. -G.
