The internet died

Has anyone else been waiting 5 minutes for the Post New Thread page to complete loading?

Local, international - both the same. useless. Uncapped too, and doing http downloading - nothing more. I get max 8.5kB - and that's only a peak. Average is slower than a sloth climbing a branchless tree.

Slimothy's IP links to a mail server. Could not see a webserver running but the machine he is logging in from is definatelely responding to mail commands. I got the domain, but cannot post it because it might push Slimothy into another conniption... Seeing as his doctor complained to us just the other day that we should try and avoid situations that could stress Slimothy...

Mine stopped working last weekend after I got capped. I then bought an extra gig which didn't help as I still couldn't access any sites. I'm now helping myself to some free gigs whenever the bw goes down, like last night

And yes I disconnected and reconnected a few times after I bought the bw, to no avail. So the bw manager can cut u off completely even if you have bandwidth remaining

Dunno what happened last night after I went to bed, but this morning my downloads were all complete (approx 400MB) - perhaps the gremlin in my system fell asleep.
