Does your internet connection suck lately? Here's why! 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. Quoting: Corn Dog This happened to me as well at Walgreens in Arizona. All computers down. |

Here's why! Just got my net back, I was down for 6 days. they had no answers had work crews here for almost a week. I was losing 80% of outgoing packets on my hard line but incoming connection was fine. My wireless business connection is now loosing packets going out, verizon does not have a clue what is up. That’s two different companies with the same outgoing packet loss issue. I'm only human, it's my biggest flaw. We must all realize a sink a chair and a pillow are all luxuries of home and a soldiers helmet takes the place of all three. |

Does your internet connection suck lately? Here's why! you have given corporations too much power, and now ENTIRE american internet infrastructure is controlled by 2 companies : at&t, comcast. they are both bastards, who want to suck you all dry without giving you shit. also, they snoop on everyone, and say they have the right to decide which website you may see and which, you may not. if allowed, bye bye places like godlikeproductions. .... that is, unless godp pays them good money. so, just zip it - ordinary 'market economics' at work - meaning, the private tyranny of the eventual dominant companies. |

We've had our cellphones with Sprint for over 10 years and have always been able to delete our voicemails using #7 (operater even still says to delete message press 7)but ever since the election we get a dozen poilitical spam voicemails on our phones that we are unable to delete.Pressing 7 does nothing.I'm only able to delete voicemail that I get from family.Explain that one? |

BUT...my land phone, the one that is supposed to be the safest and problem free, is having a lot of interference! so bad i barely can use it... lots of noise in between, like i was really close to a power plant or so. I never had this problem before and i'm deep in white suburbia, so not new construction/power plants/towers or anything... something is really fishy here |
