Yes, but should it happen on every hop? In my case it happens while I am trying to reach every site and from wherever I have the chance to get some relatively decent Internet access? A descriptive metaphor would be. You can see the traffic light once you get out of your home's drive way, but the rest of all of them misfunction regardless of where you are driving and the time of the day and it always, consistently and apparently, exclusively happens to -you- ;-) lbrtchx
