I noticed a big slow down yesterday on my internet, I use Cox Cable (would rather use dial-up, but Cox played dirty pool with not being able to fix the second phone line, and doubling their price of a 2nd line). I think something was up with either Cox or something. I use an Intel IMac, was using Firefox, the latest version that I just downloaded.
