Trade your 2400 baud modem in on a 33.6 and you'll really see the

difference!

CBS does not have nightly news, they have evening news with Katie Couric

NBC has nightly news..with Brian Williams...And I checked both and have no

problems with them...I am using a cable modem...win xp pro sp 2 on ie 6.0

I'm currently using an Actiontec GT704WG for about the last 7-8 months and

have had this problem of buffering at CBS news for the last couple of months.

I don't have this problem on any other website (Meet the Press for eg). The

commercials come off fine and it does not happen all the time with the news.

A tracert would tell you whether there's a bottleneck somewhere between

you and the CBS site. That would explain a large amount of buffering,

but, unless the slowdown is very close to you, there's nothing that can

be done about it. Run a tracert any time it's slow to see if there's a

reason for the delays.

 

Compare to these DSL speeds. Of course, that was at 5:00, not in the

evening when many people are downloading this and other programs.

 

To run a tracert, click Start, Run, type:

 

CMD (Press Enter)

 

type:

 

TRACERT CBS.COM
