Default Explanation for some of the lag yesterday
Well I noticed the lag was quite bad yesterday and I saw the company Level 3 being mentioned in the forums ... and guess what I saw in the news today:

Quote:
"Internet service providers in the US experienced a service slowdown Monday after fiber-optic cables near Cleveland were apparently sabotaged by gunfire. TeliaSonera AB, which lost the northern leg of its US network to the cut, said that the outage began around 7 p.m. Pacific Time on Sunday night. When technicians pulled up the affected cable, it appeared to have been shot up over a length of a kilometer. 'Somebody had been shooting with a gun or a shotgun into the cable,' said a TeliaSonera spokesman. The company declined to name the service provider whose lines had been cut, but a source familiar with the situation said the lines are owned by Level 3 Communications Inc. Level 3 could not be reached for comment."

Hopefully we wont have people shooting up teh internets during the preview weekend. :P

Now calm down. I'm sure the cable attacked first and they were merely retaliating in self defence.
