My ISP hit by Katrina

[Jed Rothwell]

My ISP, NetworkTel, has had the slows all week. I have a T1 connection in 
Atlanta and I just talked the tech support guy, who it turns out is in 
Florida. He says the network backbone all across the Southeast has been hit 
hard by Katrina, and traffic is being routed around the breaks every which 
direction. I do not think he is making excuses.

It is surprising how fragile modern society is.
