This sounds pretty terrible. I have not heard any reason it happened yet, but I would hope an entire network would be more resilient to complete failure.

Hmm - you know I read somewhere this was likely to start happening...but I can't remember where - probably slashdot..

Hmm. Mine has been working fine this evening. However, I did notice that I tried to refresh my USPOL page around that time this afternoon and it briefly failed to do so IIRC. I simply wrote it off as a common lack of service message that happens depending on where one is and other common reasons for failing to connect.

Yeah I thought that was the best part heh

It's a great line.

Reminds me of the trouble-shooting instructions of a modem I bought a couple of years ago. It was something like "If you can't build up an Internet connection, look at the FAQ section on our website or send an E-Mail to our Service-Team".

I wondered if this was put in on purpose by the AP writer...hilarious
