I wonder if there's been a line cut somewhere. I can't get through (via phone) to the company that provides pre-certification services for our health insurance. I've tried land line and cell phone. Cell phone gives a message that they are unable to connect, land line just gives a busy signal.

Try www.speedtest.net
When the map of the US opens try hitting several different places. For me
(in NC) Lexington, KY is fine (normal ping, 10m bit down, 1 mbit up), OTOH
Atlanta is 100k down and 10k up. I was getting reliably high speeds to
specific places such as Dallas Tx but reliably poor to chicago, NY etc.
Further if I open a dos box and PING google, Yahoo, MSNBC, Microsoft etc. I
get timeouts. If I ping www.Extremetech.com I get normal ping times. If I
ping 4.2.2.1 (a domain name resolving system) I get 14 ms pings.
I had Charter's "tech support" on the phone for an hour and they said
"uhhh... Yup... It's not wurkin" and are sending a tech to my house.
However my "neighbor" about a mile away has exactly the same problems.
I just thought I'd ask a wider audience if anyone else in the US is seeing
these symptoms.
I have a tech coming to my house but they won't find anything here, of that
I am certain now.

Seems to be a bit slow today and I've had to refresh with Google a number of
times because it came up blank. I can't get a video feed from CBC either.
