Is anyone else's internet pretty slow tonight?

[thirdlegstump]

I think the internet is doing a maintenance thing. Oh well.

 

[Vertimus]

No.

 

[vshah]

steal the internet's mop, perhaps

 

[thirdlegstump]

What pisses me off is that you don't know who you're supposed to contact because it's global and not something with your modem or anything like that. Maybe the server got infected with a virus?

 

[cjgallen]

I got a sh@tload of torrents, so mine is a tad slow, but it's not too bad.

China's firewall is down, and they are downloading everything in a mad rush.

 

[TechHead87]

Mine is a slug tonight, too.

*EDIT*

It doesn't help that FireFox is a RAM sucking whore, and is a slug program already!

BS alert! Firewalls can't go down like that. Plus there's one built in to your system so it's not it's going to make a difference.

Deathkoba, either adjust your sarcasm meter, or I can't see yours.

Mine was pretty slow before i went to class. It was pissing me off. Looks like its back to normal now though...

 

[chowmein]

its week 1 baby! fantasy-heads (like myself) are furiously clicking on f5

 

[saxophonoia]

It's because of the Nfl...everyone is checking stats

 

[thirdlegstump]

Maybe it's a www server problem? I can't seem to get emails either but I can get on firefox.

Could be...maybe we should all log off to reduce traffic.

There's more to life than sports Sax. I can't get any work done like this. This is REALLY starting to piss me off.

 

[xirtam]

I don't have my own internet.

Of course not, it's owned by the government. It's a public service that you pay for. You can't exactly own it.

[FeuerFrei]

ATOT is slow for me tonight at times. Sometimes a page won't load so I give up.

 

[TechHead87]

What would cause a worldwide internet slowdown (or *gasp* worse)?

 

[thirdlegstump]

Ah I think I found the problem. My wireless switch was turned off. *smacks head*
