    I'm on Earthlink (aka RoadRunner) here in Houston. The internet seems to be lagging hard. I am thinking this is from the War and NCAA traffic, mostly the war. All of these live video feeds on the net are killing bandwidth.

    I've tried several speed test and I am only in the 150kbps range, versus a normal speed of 2000 or higher.

    I can't even get to www.rr.com or http://houston.rr.com to see if they are having issues.

    Anyone else?

    Well, I have Comcast high-speed interent and don't seem to have any real problems (although my mouse broke and my computer goes soooo slow for no reason at times), but there must be a problem with your connection via RR. I tried going to the link and it wouldn't load.

    Good luck with it.

    I was trying 3 different speed test (dslreports, bandwidthplace and cnet).

    DSLReports is still under 1mb, but the other two are over 1mb. I think it's my local area. I get a crazy error when I go to www.rr.com

    I'll go to bed and if it acts up again tomorrow, then I will call those bosos at timewarner...
