I wouldn't have thought so, Tom. It's cable, wideband and used heavily in
Western Canada. I think that maybe when I refresh, it forces a refresh on
the server that others access rather than the server that I actually publish
to. I publish to a server with a slightly different url than my site. That
server then publishes outwardly, but for some reason, it only refreshes to
others as soon as someone does a refresh. I'm not saying it's logical but
that's how it's been working. No one has said anything since I started
doing a refresh at my end (right after publishing). Does that make sense?
You must have a strange ISP. Refreshing your personal browser has no
bearing on my browser or anyone elses. ;-)
