massive power outage in FLA

motordavid · #1 02-26-2008, 10:49 PM

ComCrap, in the fastest version they have here. Just ran Speakeasy
and got:
13107 kbps down and 1694 kbps up.

I peruse some fairly loaded/complex financial sites, lots of newspaper sites,
photo imaging sites, etc. They almost all run lightning fast...
However, my fave board, X5World, runs from OK to slow, to snaggly, and molasses-like.
I'm not the only one here with a slow X5 board.

Back on topic, we never had a flicker, power-wise, here on the poor side of Naples, FL.

Not only is it slow, but whatever ISP it is hosted on has a peering issue in the North East. If I push all network traffic out my NY link it's a mess, if I go out my Boston or California link, it's fine.

OT, but the orig topic is old news/run its course...
G, misery loves company, but I'm reinforced to read you comments
on the XBoard running slow for you, also...other than Vig and a couple
others, I thought it was jes'me. The clincher was that it continues to
run slowly down here at our FL joint with a very fast ComCrap connection,
in addition to my Mtn wireless connection. So, I'm not an whiny alien...

From the Fwiw Dept., off Yahoo "news"...
that ol' human error was the cause of the FL blackout this past
week. I add this not to prolong this old news thread, but in the
effort to do a bring near denouement to the situ. ,
