Terrible wait time for Outlook Anywhere on one of my ISPs... Curious why. 3 ISPs right now: 1 Comcast 8Mbps (Speedtest.net = 16 Mbps) 2 Muni Wfi 6Mbps (Speedtest.net = 9 Mbps) 3 Sprint EVDO Rev. A (Work laptop) (Speedtest.net = <1 Mbps) Exchange box is hosted on a 10 Mbps uplink. Tested with XP, Vista, Outlook 2003, 2007, all Cached Mode. When I am on my Comcast or Sprint connection, and I open up Outlook, I am instantly greeted with the password dialog box, and I can connect to the server instantly upon entering my password. Perfect. If I switch to the Muni Wifi connection, Outlook hangs, and I have to wait over 60 seconds for the password dialog box to appear. Once I finally connect, Outlook is sluggish at first... then normal. It doesn't seem like a speed issue, because the Muni is MUCH faster than the EVDO connection, and I don't have this issue on the EVDO connection at all... Even using the EVDO card on roam at my cabin I don't see this issue. I'm not much of a networking guru, so I am not sure where to start looking... Did my due diligence and looked at some KB articles, results below. I am a Beta tester on the MuniWiFi, so I have a little closer access to their advanced support staff, so I want to take the time and research this. Some of our emloyees might end up using this MuniWiFi, and I am debating if I should keep it and ditch Comca$t.

Thanks, Sam
