did this happen only to me?

Post by Lord Revan »

between 23:00 and 0:00 more or less today I was totally unable to connect to any website in North America, Youtube worked and finnish sites worked but nothing in USA or Canada.

Hm... I did suffer from intermittent issues now that you mention it. Not so much a total connection loss as certain sites just loading way slow.
It has become clear to me in the previous days that any attempts at reconciliation and explanation with the community here has failed. I have tried my best. I really have. I pored my heart out trying. But it was all for nothing.

You win. There, I have said it.

Now there is only one thing left to do. Let us see if I can sum up the strength needed to end things once and for all.

eBay wouldn't load for me because of a DNS error at around that time. Some seafloor telecoms cable must've sprung a leak I suppose; we'll probably hear about it on the news tomorrow.

If a seafloor cable goes out of commission, the problems will last for weeks. More likely that there was some sort of lesser outage on a key trunk line or some DNS server out of commission and too much traffic congestion on alternate routes.

Why is it so goddamned hard to get little assholes like you to admit it when you fuck up? Is it pride? What gives you the right to have any pride?
