"SLOW, SLOW" Internet

Is the entire Net running slow lately? Every pc in my house is running like they're on a 9600 modem, rather than DSL. I know peak hours are often slower, but this is ridiculous past few days.

Actually, now that you mention it even on 56k I've noticed that things have been slower lately. I'm not sure why though.

Unfortunately, I think it's due to the on going war.... I think just everybody's on it that would normally spend much less time in good ole cyberspace...

I haven't had any probs since my ISP fixed an area problem. Might be an issue with your ISP... see if you can check with other people in your area.

Either this is a very strange coincidence or Internet just sped up. I've been getting a 150+ in speeds. Read below link under "slow connections", rebooted DSL modem and I'm back to 1300/137:
