Server Down Only In Certain Parts of Country?

[textex]

My sites work fine for me. My programmer can only load half the images (only half of an image) on my sites. I get emails once in a while from consumers about the site not working. My host claims it must be the ISP. How can I check to see if my sites are 100% functional in all parts of the US?

You'd need to locate proxies in the areas where you're having problems and 'pipe' your requests through them.

Are your images served statically --direct from files-- or do you use a script to serve them?

Be sure to completely flush (delete) your browser cache when you are testing on your own "working" computer -- You may be seeing 'good' images because your browser has already cached them...

My images are served statically.

Did this...sites still look fine for me.

I've never had to research proxy locations, but I'd suggest using a search engine.

If the images are served statically, then it's not a script failure. It's more likely a network or client ISP failure causing connections to get dropped. But since I don't know your location, your programmer's location, or your users' locations, and don't have intimate knowledge of your your traffic levels or patterns, it's impossible (for me) to unequivocally rule out a server problem -- as unlikely as it may appear to be from just what's posted here.
