Oh and on a side note, I'm glad this section is finally being used for what it was intended to be used for!

Whats the star mean? And Buckeyes not all bad...plus, its all I could get in my new apartment. 
A star means it did not receive a reply back from the destination within the timeout limit. Also known as..... Request timed out.
The lower the MS (millisecond) the better, that means you are getting an acknowledgement back faster.
A hop is a router, or each line you see there.

AHHH, makes sense, Thanks,

I enjoy coming on here every now and then but the top banners kicks right in but it usually takes a good 5-10 seconds for the rest of the page to appear and load.

A couple things that might be of interest:
The government's Argonne National Lab has a web application
that can analyse the 'weakest link' in a network:
http://miranda.ctd.anl.gov:7123/
I am presently using FireFox with the Adblock and NoScript
extentions and I did find that both of these 'Add-Ons' did improve
speed of loading at many websites.
Adblock:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865
NoScript
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722
Both of the above extentions improve the security of FireFox from malware
as well as improving the speed of page loading.
I also have 'on purpose' not installed the Flash plug-in in FireFox
but do have Flash enabled in Internet Explorer.
The vast majority of the time Flash is slowing you down by loading large blocks of data for ads on the page that most don't really want to see, so leaving Flash off of FireFox speeds things up.
When I want to see a Flash presentation I just load that particular webpage in IE.
Apple claims its Safari browser is the fastest webpage processor
and in my experiments this seems to be true. There is now a Windows version of Safari at:
http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
Note that the way Apple wants you to do Flash presentations is to enable the Quicktime Plug-In to play Flash
rather than to install a separate Macromedia/Adobe Plug-In,
which as far as I know is not available for Safari.
Safari also has a setting for cookies that only allows them to be set for the webpage that you navigate to, not for the advertisers on that page. That setting also seems to speed up webpage loading.

This may be true but speaking from a web development standpoint I really hope people don't start using Safari. It's terrible for site devs, some stuff just refuses to display right in it and it gets very frustrating trying to get the site to look the same in Safari as in IE/Firefox. Everyone at the company I worked at this summer hates Safari for that reason.

Yeah, this forum is pretty lame. C'mon, a 255 character limit for sigs?! I have an 8mbps connection to Comcast which frequently surpasses 18 mbps. I can read and respond to other forums in the time it takes this one to give up.

Do you enjoy it when you visit a forum and people's sigs take up half the page or more? I don't. If you want this fixed make yourself useful and do a traceroute and send it to Amanda as requested earlier in the thread.
On another note, I've noticed lately that the slowdown is especially apparent when I post. It can be running just fine but most of the time it takes over a minute to actually post.
