    I know ppl on DSL and Cable, and lag is occuring spuriously and even disconnects
    as the internet traffic is continuing to rise , but the backbone Infrastructure
    is not receiving upgrades at critical points .

    This is causing slow web browser loads, intermittent disconnects, and ping times
    that spike from time to time at predictable points along a trace route .

    The choke points are literally choking, and you can run network monitoring
    tools to see where various ISPs and long haul providers are skimping
    on spending and it is causing odd behaviour from our broadband .

    It doesn't happen all the time, but at peak usage times it is more prevelant .

    Ppl in online games like everquest often type in messages to ppl on different
    ISP networks the question "lag???" and get a chorus of resounding echoes "yes" .

    Some of this could be blamed on the game servers, and networks til you look at
    a test that was done by myself .

    Different game, Different provider, Different ISP, corresponding lag spikes .

    Key points of DNS or routing is reaching critical mass .

    It could be the massive increase of p2p apps, it could just be total traffic,
