AS they say, 'every dog has his day.' I've seen none of this reported slowdown on my dialup connection--it's the same not unreasonable speed as ever. Posts may or may not go through the first time but that's always been an issue here for me. If a 56K connection is what 30 times faster than cable then I tend to suspect it has something to do with the arcane art of routing tables, DHCP, etc. and may not even be something 'Rosity can control i.e. it may be "upstream" from their servers. Has someone actually contacted the PTB and asked them to check? Where's the Penguin, he knows all about this stuff I believe.
