Did anyone else see some pretty severe "sludge" throughput on the

Internet yesterday?

I'm in the midwest, USA, Oklahoma to be exact, and my connection dropped

to about 56Kbps modem speed at around 12:30pm yesterday. I have three

clients in different cities who also had problems in the 12:30pm to

3:00pm timeframe (central standard time)...

Oklahoma City Cox Cable normally 3MB up/down went to 1.5MB down, 500Kb up

Tulsa Easytel (fiber optic) normally 45MB down/6MB up went to 5MB

down/1MB up

Bartlesville AT&T DSL normally 6MB down/800Kb up went to 55Kbps down/

10Kbps up

Everything returned to "normal" throughput around 4:30 to 5:00pm

yesterday, each provider at different times.

It would suggest something temporarily wrong with a regional backbone, no?

Kind of gave my clients the jitters (and me) as they now rely on

real-time throughput for POS applications.

Anyone else see a slowdown on 9/19/11?

Thanks for any feedback.
