Is the internet slow today?

[Noo]

Anyone in the east coast can confirm?

 

[IronWing]

The internet is always a bit slow.

 

[Noo]

does this look normal? every site i go to seems to take 5 seconds to resolve dns or something.

might just be your DNS. try using google's or level3's DNS.

 

[who?]

Some sites were really slow about 2 or 3am but everything seems fine this afternoon. I wonder if any datacenters got flooded out in southern Texas.

Seems ok but that first washington hop (ae-14 one) seems a bit suspect, maybe. I don't end up going through it when I do a traceroute from here though. Ping seems fine except for an odd glitch on ae-24 but then I pinged it for a while and it was stable. But since the problem might be in Washington, the default thing to do is to blame Obama.

[Newell Steamer]

It's not slow - it's special.

 

[A Casual Fitz]

It's fine here in Maine.

 

[slackerinabox]

time warner - nyc (queens), weird internet last night (certain sites wouldn't resolve at all), today sluggish

 

[sandorski]

I have noticed some slowness the last couple days. Wouldn't be surprised if something is afoot, but it might not be the Internet.

 

[eldorado99]

I blame the information superhighway.

 

[master_shake_]

well when the nsa routes your traffic through them so they can analyze it, you're just going to have to accept slow downs.

 

[Leros]

My internet was very weird today. I normally get 20Mbit down and 2 Mbit up. Today, I was getting 0.04 Mbit down and 15Mbit up. This is according to speed test at least.

 

[ImpulsE69]

Maybe it is time for two internets.

 

[balloonshark]

It's fine here in Mayne.

TMI

 

[John Connor]

Let me go to the easy coast and find out.

 

[John Connor]

Nope!
