Another trigger point

[BillMasen]

Internet / Mobile /Cellular systems reporting network wide tech problems, I honestly would not be suprised to see Mobile service /Internet/ Fuel supplies to be affected..............Then how long before the elite shut down broadcasters?

Maybe it’s Unrelated but I have noticed the phone and internet being glitchy the last couple days. Could jus the localized, could be just a lot more traffic than normal, who knows. Would hate to be quarantined for weeks or months without on line access or cell service.

I have also experienced this.

Having fits with mine the last 2 days.

The information highway is just like a regular interstate highway. Works well until everybody tries to get on it at the same time, during an event. Then it starts to bog down.

Definitely the internet has been slow at work. We use a web based system for most everything we do, and everything is just a little slower than normal.

It's everywhere. My son was told to work from home, but his Internet is so bad he can't get much work done and it's driving him crazy. He lives in Arlington VA.

Maybe a little slower on cell, but definitely not on my web connection and I work from home quite a bit so I am fairly sensitive to changes. I do think if the web craps out it will definitely elevate problems quite a bit.

 

[tmttactical]

If the web craps out almost all business will crap out too. Can't use credit / debit cards without the web. Just one more reason I am pulling the majority of my money out of the bank tomorrow. I have seen what happens at a gas station when their internet connection went down --- cash sales only. I had cash, most did not.

My cell seems fine, but our company conference call platform is breaking... for the last few days, we just get a fast busy signal (some of your younger employees don't know what a "busy signal" is...) when we call in. Web based conference programs are glitchy and not always working. The infrastructure isnt set up to handle this type of volume... work from home isn't working!

Businesses on T1, T3, Fiber, etc. aren't affected like shared Internet such as Cable modem and DSL. At work I had to constantly fight the boss to keep our fiber even though it wasn't theoretically as fast as Cable modem. Fiber was always up, always working, always full speed. We didn't need gigameg Internet, we just needed it to work all day every day because we had an office full of people using software that was in the cloud.
