Time to load pages

Megamacs.com has been tested on various connections including a 56k v90 modem, 28.8k modem , Southwestern Bell DSL connection, and @home cable modem. Even on the 28.8k it has loaded within a few seconds.

The server our site lives on has connectivity to several Internet backbone providers to ensure visibility to everyone without problems. The nature of the Internet means that there are many networks the data between our server and your browser may need to travel and a problem on a network half way between us and your ISP is usually out of anyone's control but the owners of the network affected.
