Re: The North American Internet is Under ATTACK! Does your internet connection suck lately? Here's why!
Yesterday my internet had the x on the 2 computers showing it wasn't connected, i went in and disconnected and re-connected, showed connected with most bars and never once did the little x at the bottom right hand corner show that i was connected all day yesterday.

One of my local tv stations went on and off for about half hour last night so I thought all of this was solar flare but I guess it was just a coincidence.

Dodgy, email problems,not loading, try again messages.

I'm glad this thread could help to make people aware of what is going on...

Sandy was just the beginning of the attack on the U.S.A. IMO.

Many professional engineers I've spoken to seem to agree that this was NOTHING OTHER than a weather modification job.

America is about to come under serious attack IMO and our puppet politicians are going to LET it happen or are IN ON IT just like they were on 9/11.

As I noted before, in any military OP the first order of business is to eliminate the enemy's use of communications networks.

Hopefully I'm just being paranoid here but I don't think that Obama signed that Internet Kill-Switch EO for nothing.

Let's all keep an eye on this to see if many more hubs start going down.

If they do I'm going to get some BBS software (Old school 80's 90's baby!) so people can at least have a place to get updates through a dial-up modem.

(Might be a good idea to break out those old 9,800baud modems lol.)

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.

What's the first order or business when you are about to invade your enemy? Take out their communications network....

Obama can 'kill' the internet during a 'national crisis'....Sandy is an excuse to turn it off. They are gradually shutting it down.

Ditto. Far away from the coast and in the hills of NW CT here.
My brand new Samsung Galaxy note II with "4G LTE" capability has mostly been on "roaming" 3G data ever since I bought it and is crawling at a ridiculous 10 kbps (yup I said kbps).
Calls to customer service has them telling me that it may be the device whereas I am trying to tell them that it is their sucky cell service because it connects well and good with my home wi-fi (which again is a whole different story with wildly fluctuating speeds by Charter ISP).
Great phone, but I am on the verge of returning it (the fourteen day return policy gets over tomorrow).

Sandy is merely an excuse for very many things behind the scene.<SIGH>

Yes, I have been thinking this is happening as well...I think a cyber enemy is doing penetration testing of our IT infrastructure...seeing what they can turn on or off at a later point when needed. If you scan the news over the past month for similar stories, there have been many all over the US. The phone system in my city was even inoperable for about 1 hour a few weeks ago, something that has never happened before, ever.

Mods, this is a very important topic, please pin!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23396145


If any enemy can truly have a real impact on your nation by attacking the public internet then it is your own fault for being stupid enough to design it that way.

Nothing critical should be on the public network.

The public Internet serviced by these hubs should traffic nothing more important than dirty pics and poitless glp posts.

False Flag if anytihng at all because these things have been know for decades and yet everything is still a soft target. Might as well paint a bullseye on the internet.

 Quoting: mrclean


None of your electronic devices will work without electicity don't ya know! Any "attack" on this nation will be preceeded by an EMP generated by an non-nuclear "explosion" that will burn out electronic circuits not heavily shielded. Transmission lines above ground or below ground will be overcharged which causes substations equipment to burnout, which is what happened to a ConEdison substation during "super storm" Sandy! Power plants would suffer major problems should their electronic systems be hit with an EM pulse generated by a EM weapon. Nuclear power plants could be specifically targeted with such a weapon. Their back up generators would not work because their electronics would be burned out, which would lead to exactly what happened in Fukushima.
