Boy, for the last couple of hours I have had really bad connectivity problems. CPF is actually better than a lot of the other places I've tried to visit, but even it is timing out nearly half the time.

I can't even connect to the speed test sites, or the internet health site etc.

Google, Yahoo etc. are taking 5-6 attempts to connect between time outs.

I've released my IP a few times, (Cable broadband)...Restarted the computer, tried other computers that doesn't help. Tracerts EVERYWHERE time out on every step. Pings that go through are decently quick (about 40-80 ms) but everywhere I've tried there is a 25 -75% loss of packets.

Anyway, I can't tell if the problem is local, regional or the whole net.

Thanks!.

Re: Anyone else having really bad Internet connections (night of 9-11)

I'd guess you're having random ISP probs. Mine's working fine.

Yeah, It is fine now. Figures that five minutes after I posted this new thread, it would straighten itself out. :ohgeez: :ohgeez:
