few people (in pgh, PA) that i have been talking to on irc have
reported ./'d news sites everywhere. (cnn.com, yahoo.com, msnbc.com,
etc.) my office has been relegated am radio, which is pretty pathetic
for an ISP.
pretty poor performance for a network orginally designed to faciliate
communication in just such circumstances. i hope that military and
federal communication is faring better than the commercial sites.
