I use Home.com as my isp - Comcast Home cable, the same as my cable TV.
But I use virtulink.com for email. They're in Hightstown, NJ,
east of Princeton and sometimes they have local email/connection
traffic. I'm about 45 min. north, and who knows where the @home server
is.
Sometimes it's virtulinks fault but sometimes it's not.

Simple as that, the net is just a bunch of local computer
networks chained together. And there's always a weak ink in the chain.

Single mail delivery to my office mail, though I often check the web site
when I'm away from the office (I don't have a computer at home, thank
goodness) . . .
