anyone else have real shoddy internet connections today?

I use comcast, and for some odd reason, half of the pages i go to, i get time out errors. Its really annoying, and wondering if its just my area with comcast.

My Verizon DSL at home was lagging yesterday bigtime. Still not much better this morning.

It might be the RPC worm, it's hard to say at this point.

My comcast is fine, but I live all the way over in MA, so that probably has no relevence.

Charter Pipeline where I live in (a small city in Southern California) is really bad. They have the highest timeouts that causes me to do the annoying cable modem reset. I called Customer Care so many times and get the same darn answers. Basically, if you're in need of broadband service, you're at the mercy of what's available and there's no plan for DSL here yet. Darn Verizon/GTE/Pacfic Bell etc..

Mine has gotten pretty bad in the past hour or two. Most of the places I try to visit just time out. I'm guessing it's due to the rapid propagation of the Blaster worm.
