Propably not, but you never know.

It could be happening again, or they are still recovering.

edit: the internet has been slow lately, but it's much better today.

Maybe its just your ISP? I'm not feeling any slowdowns.

About those attacks... They attacked the 13 root-servers. What kind of machines those root-servers are? Some huge mainframes? Clusters? Anyone have any info?

Considering that he's in Finland...

As far as the attacks on the root servers, I wouldn't expect that to cause slowdowns.

Traffic doesn't actually flow through these servers, they are simply the end all be all of DNS. Normally DNS requests are handled by the ISP, so for most people even if the servers were all turned off simultaneously they wouldn't see a difference for a day or two.
