Results from your most recent broadband speed test recorded on 03 October 2002 at 17:57:16.
Your Connection
Direction Actual Speed True Speed
Downstream 485 Kbps (60.6 KB/sec) 557 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 366 Kbps (45.8 KB/sec) 420 Kbps (inc. overheads)
'Actual Speed' is the amount of useful data that your connection can transmit/receive per second. The 'True Speed' figure includes an approximation of data overheads (non-useful data).

I am not only having trouble with WDWMagic. I really think that there is an internet problem today.

The main page loads fine..but when I come to the boards, it seems like the header loads but the threads take a little bit....which is odd for me, because i'm on a 1.5 MB connection, so I"m not used to slowdown.
I am not used to a very fast connection (I´m on dial up) but it´s been extremely slow now and it happens just what you explained!
This is from my school's director of information services.
Update on the Internet slowdown today
Apparently, I was mistaken about the problem being in the Southeast US. It started in the Northwest US region and has caused problems worldwide. At any rate, the problem is much bigger than the Lyon link.
For those who are interested in the technical jargon (both of you), here's the straight scoop from the Arkansas Dept of Information Systems network guru, explaining the slowdown:
There is also a problem on the Internet this afternoon. Someone inserted a /8 static route statement that has resulted in the need to reboot about 50 routers in the Ameritech region, mostly in the N.W. Continental United States. Having to reboot these routers is causing some world wide BGP bouncing and flapping.
These are the folks who run ARKNET (a consortium of colleges, universities, and non-profits like libraries which operates as our Internet Service Provider). They are also looking closely at statewide P2P traffic, which is a second culprit for the slowdown. I think they may be getting ready to curtail P2P traffic on a large scale. Stay tuned.
