It would be nice to have more than a barely functional for some things interrnet.

Yeah I know how it feels i'll pray for you!
~see ya'll on monday...

Yeah, that can be a drag, especially when you use the internet to play great music and chat with good people such as fellow CAA members. *prays*

I'll pray that you'll be able to find out what the problem is and sort it out.

I will definitely be praying for you, Sher. ^____^

It's times like these that I just say, "Next time, I'm getting a Mac."

Of course, that solves nothing at the time being, does it?

I'll pray for you, and all of us who have Internet troubles.

Yeah it sucked that I couldn't chat with you that night . T_T

I shall pray that your Internet connection will get better somehow.

Thanks for praying everyone. Ladies and gentlemen, we have internet. Yay. (Still open to thoughts on why that happened.)

Here's what happened. Tuesday, one of AOL's main routers went down. This router served the larger LA area's AOL DSL subscribers, and happened to be responsible for our area. Come Friday, AOL had connected its DSL subscribers through an alternate router. Unfortunately, this router did not have sufficient capacity to handle the traffic put across it (I think traffic was sent through a couple of dialup routers, based on traceroute information), and the router was dropping a lot of packets. (after the network stabilized, I measured >30% packetloss for icmp. - so it was only handling about 6-7 out of 10 packets. DNS seems to have had similar loss rates.) Now, either the original router or a capable replacement had been brought online.
