First of all this particular site blows ass for a month now and it's very irritating. Secondly, and more bothersome is the fact that any Google searches I do take about 10-15 seconds to occur no matter which PC i'm on. That has been happening about a month also.
 Quoting: ****SUPERFLY****



I've noticed that when I go on my homepage (msn) my email account says "loading" ... and is sometimes not available for awhile. Never had this happen before. Been going on for a couple of months I think.

Internet has been slow the last few days.

Not having access to the internet would be like having my eyes plucked out!!

"The poster above who mentioned the kill switch is spot on, but the switch isn't in the hands you may think it is."

Russia, China, Iran, an internal threat...take your pick. But my money is on the idea that when the US finally declares war on Iran, they will blame them for these cyber intrusions.

There is plenty that is sinister going on. My brother works for a major telecomunications corp and they have been fighting these guys for quite awhile on behalf of their clients. Whole IP range blocks have been and are still necessary. I wish I could say more but I can't. The poster above who mentioned the kill switch is spot on, but the switch isn't in the hands you may think it is.

I've been experiencing it for weeks. I just assumed it had something to do with solar activity....I don't know.
 Quoting: ExoPoliChick


I just figured it was my ancient computer not being able to handle all the flashy websites. Glad, in a way, to hear that the problem wasn't on my end, but not so glad to hear that the painfully slow loading of pages may become yet another 'new norm'.

Eastern US is really getting hit hard, as is Europe and China. China is opening its important Party Congress right, so it looks like information about that is being disrupted, along with our elections.

Yes, that's been a huge problem these past few weeks just in the few stores that I go to, as well as some banks. I always take cash now, just in case.

The North American HUB shows that at least 15 MAJOR HUBS are DOWN.

Is this normal?

No.

Someone is DELIBERATELY tampering with these hubs.

It would be 'normal' for perhaps 1 or 2 to fluctuate off at a time...but 15 is IMPOSSIBLE without tampering.

my connection sucks because I downgraded it to save money. It's still fast enough to download torrents of FLAC files at a reasonable speed though. Converting my collection to lossless and not going to repay for content. Pay for a proxy to mask my IP address instead. :)

This may be a stupid question, but could this interfere with the election? It is my understanding that in 29 states the final tally from voting machines gets sent to the Spanish agency in FL to be counted. How are the vote tallies sent?? I have heard that here in PA if the election is close enough to trigger a recount, there is NO WAY to do a recount because once the votes are sent out from the machines, there is no way to do a recount. Anyway this could be election tampering?

Simply put, the Internet now represents to me a form of primitive telepathy, telepathy based on circuitry, to be exact. Undoubtedly because he deals with the nuts and bolts issues of building networks on a daily basis, and thus has little time for actually gathering heretofore unobtainable information from the Internet, he was unable to understand what I was trying to say.

For that reason, I decided not to get into what led me to this new view of the Internet, but actually it could be called the mother of all "conspiracy theories," i.e., that people many thousands of years ago were telepathic, and that human language was created to divide and conquer the human race. I have absolutely no idea if this theory--well, actually a hypothesis or a contention--is true, but it led me to start thinking about what human life would be like if we didn't have to actually verbalize our thoughts and translate them across the arbitrary barriers we call "natural languages."

also having issues with local phone service

Same here in South Lake Tahoe. Picture goes black for a few moments, or becomes choppy like something is interfering with the signal. Been happening for about a month. All I usually watch are football games or the weather. Aside from all the ads trying to get us to buy their stuff, everything else promotes iniquity.

I don't know about the internet being under attack but this morning I went to my local Walgreens and their computers/registers were down. The computerized door was going crazy. They wouldn't let people in the store. They wouldn't even take cash.
