My co-location company and myself know that there is more transfer trying to get through because we see it hitting a "roof" on it's transfer at about 3200kbps, and it won't go past that, and there is no steady up and downs, it's flat lining at that type of transfer, so we know something is wrong, and speed for transfers is VERY slow... I ran a test at netmechanic.com, and it rated it as "poor". A site to look at for yourself would be www.sitepalace.com. Thanks for your help...
