If by attbi You mean ATT Cable... then The fact that some sites are slow
to conncect seems to be a function of there DNS configuration.  It's
slow to update and doesn't seem to be able to "discover" new (to it)
locations.  My e-mail server for my compnay is an example... Finally had
to put it's IP in /etc/hosts becasue ATT kept losing it.  If you know of
a properly configured DNS server someplane.. I recommend using it as a
secondary or tertiary nameserver.
