Tier One ISPs Dying

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the they're-just-faking dept.

Is this the end for Level 3?" Many, many reports about this are coming in, and if you're wondering why the stories were rather sparse overnight, it's because it's difficult to post them without internet access. Hope everyone else is back online too.

    Thanks for that amazing flash of insight. Maybe they could have used the Internet Smoke Signals gateway. Meh.

  2. What problems with the internet? by Cederic · · Score: 0, Flamebait


    I haven't had any problems with 'net access today.

    My web based email has been fine, the usual news sites I access have been available, wikipedia and dictionary.com were both around, a couple of message boards and special interest sites have responded ok.

    Email hasn't been disrupted for me either. I haven't tried anything other than email and http, but I use other protocols rather less.

    Maybe some people in America are having problems. Welcome to the world, it's great out here.
