	Only Cox Cable out here in Vegas, so I wouldn't really know. But nothing shows up on Google news when I search about comcast outages. Maybe everyone just fell asleep like in that show "Flash Forward". ____________________

I'm on Comcast and I've had occasional hour-long outages and frequent disconnections lately. I haven't had trouble here for like 2.5 years and then it started recently.

There was a 4.4 earthquake here in California, maybe it hit something in comcast.

	Nah, they've just decided that IRC uses up too much bandwidth and are now throttling your IRC connections ____________________ <@Bitmap> Be completely humble and gentle; <@Bitmap> And tell them to shut the fuck up

As I read that, wicked witch-like cackling could be heard from the distance.

Ominous, no?

	Maybe the earthquake was triggered by comcast because someone went over their bandwidth usage? ____________________

I have some understanding of throttling bandwidth for Torrents (but come on), but IRC? That just makes me laugh, true or not.

I had to go to bed at 2 AM, aiming to wake up at 10 AM... and getting up at 1:30 PM. God, I suck.

I just was asleep for about 4 hours this afternoon, but I've been going on like 5 hours of sleep a night for a while.

In my dialup days, IRC and AIM were about the only things that ran at an acceptable speed.

Yea when it happened this morning, it happened across 7 states from what we counted. So we guessed it was a universal outage.

Smaller amounts of data to send.

Yep, I know

Of course, the WWW tended to be simpler then as you couldn't count on people having broadband. Someone might have been viewing your Web site on their 386SX's 9600 bps modem.

Same here, minus the 3AM part. I haven't really noticed a drop in speed either...

Comcast was perfectly fine while I was home for spring break all last week. I guess if there are any problems right now, they must've literally *just* appeared within the last day, i.e., right after I got back to campus.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
