Now you can identify the source of your network bottleneck--whether it is your PC, modem, your Internet Service Provider (ISP), the Internet backbone, or remote Web site server. Net.Medic identifies problems in split seconds, offers you recommendations for solving them, and in many cases, automatically fixes them for you. Net.Medic is the personal Internet utility you've been waiting for, giving you actionable information that can measurably improve your personal online experience. Before Net.Medic, you could only talk about your frustration. Now you can do something about it. " form the http://www.beyond.com/PKSN023907/prod.htm where you can buy it. It has a free download as a trial at http://www.ins-insoft.com/netmedic/ My ISP was whining about one problem or another pointing away from their contribution to slow access. When I sent them my NetMedic results they shutup and sent a tech to fix the line. After all, how can ordinary users document what Internet problems are? It appears NetMedic is becoming some standard concerning dx'ing problems. I download a lot of the GIS free data; its nice to know if there is a problem and get an idea about how to fix it.
