Chicago area internet is sucking hard.
So at some point early today a Level 3 fiber-optic cable was cut in the Chicago headquarters for the internet. The backups are all saturated and the internet is running about .02x for mine and everyone else's ISP in the Chicago area. It took a minute and a half for this page to load. Kind of makes me nostalgic for the days of dialup, but not really. I also find it funny how South Park did an episode on this kind of subject recently.
I heard from someone that this problem should be getting fixed at about 8pm CST tonight. So yea, if you're in the Chicago area and wondering why your internet is slow as hell, it isn't just you.

Re: Chicago area internet is sucking hard.
What the hell? How did they cut one of the fiber-optic cables? Didn't they have something better they could cut? Also, this would explain why my internet at school was sucking...

Seriously. Some people don't get nearly enough bleach in their diet.

Re: Chicago area internet is sucking hard.
No such thing as the internet.
But could this be why FFR was slow earlier? |

Re: Chicago area internet is sucking hard.
The internet is the messiah.
And it's fixed so any new problems are unrelated to this.
