I'm temporarily out of state. I can't believe how fast the ATS website performs. Strange it's working so well in Maryland compared to New Jersey.
I ran speedtest.net where I am now. The bandwidth here is a fraction of what I have in NJ. Even more strange the website performs so poorly in NJ with the massively greater amount of bandwidth.

There is connection speed and there is bandwidth.
For all connection points between you and the end point.
One's "speed" on the internet to any server and back again is reliant on every single point having a good bandwith .
And a bandwidth that is not overloaded or cluttered .
If just one server , router , switch , etc . in the entire route is maxing that bandwidth , the speed slows down for everyone.
