Talkbass lagging and loading slow?

As posted in the other thread:

Sorry about the mess. I didn't announce anything because I thought in this day ISP's would be updating their DNS on a decent schedule.

On March 14th we started off-loading all images and javascript to a Content Delivery Network (CDN). CDN's speed up website loading for users, because instead of loading all the data from the TB server in Texas, you can get the data from an ultrafast node in various spots around the country (NY, LA, etc) and internationally.

Your ISP, however, has not updated its DNS, and so your browser don't know what to do with our new image calls to img.talkbasscdn.com, and it can't load javascript from js.talkbasscdn.com, etc. I wish I could tell you when they'll update - 99% of ISP's updated within minutes of the change. A few take as much as 24 hours, but by now you should be updated... Unless there's some caching going on. Work environments may be affected as well - until they add talkbasscdn.com to their DNS database, there's nothing we can do.
 
Paul you can PM me for details if you want them. Only happens at work and prefer not to share my employer publicly. Our gateways service tens of thousands of users nationwide however. Not some mom and pop outfit.

We are on the AT&T for business backbone for Internet and have multiple gateways across the US. Mine is east coast, but switching to another gateway didn't make a difference.
