We've lost contact with an [o-t] member who lives in Austin, his phone/cell don't work either. Hopefully the rain will die down and service will be restored quickly. How bad is it in your area of Austin?

I live about 20 minutes east of Austin in Bastrop County. The rain has, usually, been dying down right on the county line between Travis (Austin) county and Bastrop county. In Marble Falls, 30 minutes west of Austin it has been ridiculous. A really intense storm was just sitting over marble falls and wouldn't move. Our phone service cuts out occasionally as it is through Time Warner cable. We had a really bad storm Wednesday, snapped a sapling in half that was in our front yard.

I live in Newark, NJ.

My cable speed test was exactly fine. I have no viruses or spybots using any of my bandwidth. I even went to the effort of monitoring my network traffic via the Task Manager and when loading Google, Youtube, etc. it never went above 1.5% of its usage.

Wikipedia takes way too long to load pages, and youtube takes much, much longer to load videos than it used to. This has been happening for the last few days.

There have been no problems reported in my area save for a transformer exploding all the way in Eastern Manhatten in NYC. However, this was happening before that.

I figure it has to be something on an ISP's router (down, maintenance) or something because a lot of sites are working fine, but shit like Youtube and Wikipedia are so very slooooooow.

I remember that when a router run by the Level 3 company went out, everyone west of NYC had a BITCH of a time connecting to NYC TFC servers like drippy-'s 2fort. Those who could had ridiculously high pings. I had a friend in Pennsylvania (Eastern PA to boot) who had a ping of like 120. I mean, what the fuck?

What could it be and what could I do?

[nodnarb]

My interwebz is working again!

[hatchman_sr]

nevermind

[Bubbles]

All fine and dandy here.

[BinaryLife]

I blame the iPhone.

No real reason for it, I just think it needs more bad press.
