Anyone having trouble getting to various sites today? Or do I need a new ISP?

Wierdest thing, been having trouble getting to various sites today. Some work fine, some don't. Maybe a DNS server problem? Last time I had this trouble, about a year ago, someone had cut a main trunk on the west coast causing global problems. Could just be me.

Maybe a DNS server problem?

Are you on 56k dialup, DSL or cable? My QWest DSL craps out and has DNS server problems about 3 times a month which affects about 40% of the websites I would visit.

:eek: Still on 56k. If I had thought if it earlier, I would have done a trace route to see where the sites that weren't coming up were stopping at. This site, techb@rgains, and google were a few of the ones I was having trouble with. I started experiencing withdrawl symptoms when AT didn't come up.

I was unable to get to either the main site or the forums earlier today (around 11:30 PST).

Some other sites are unavailable as well.

smartt - How difficult would it be to switch ISPs? I have always recommended Xprt.net to people in my area because they are only $95/year for unlimited 56k dialup with 30MB personal website. The only catch is there is NO TECH SUPPORT but assuming everything is working on their end you shouldn't need tech support.
