Slow, slow, slow (III) !

I also receive that message.

Today on this message is slow again.

One thing I have seen is whole pages of posts appearing in bold or italic.

Yep, Dave...and generally, I'm thoroughly pleased with their utilities (TV/Tubes/Phone).

Their customer service people have been really helpful, the few times I've needed them, even though I often have to educate them on some of the more esoteric stuff. I'm always happy when I can get connected to an engineer...less terminology translation is needed.

But I can't make any sense of the weirdness here, especially, or bum connections anywhere else for that matter. It's partially because I don't know enough to pin the causes down, and partially because it's not something I should have to be concerned with, so I don't bother. All I care about is that it works, is stable, and generally as fast as advertised.

99.9% of the time, it does what it says on the tin.

you're on comcast too huh phos? :)

I have a feeling there are some DoS/DNS attacks going on all over the 'tubes. Ive been experiencing speed anomalies at quite a few places I visit regularly, and which are usually pretty speedy.

Over the past few days, maybe longer:
