"We" are experiencing technical difficulties...

I have been having a terrible time with SI recently. My ISP is Globalserve in TO, who use UUNET as their backbone to the US. One of the UUNET nodes has been like a yo-yo for the past 2 months. Until a week ago, I could only get to SI 2 out of 3 days. Last week, couldn't get through 2 mornings. Today, had to refresh each SI screen 2 or 3 times to get them... it has been a bitch.

Anyhow, if I mysteriously disappear in the middle of a conversation or don't get in to post a trade, that is the reason why. If this thread wasn't such a great place to hang out, I think I would have given up weeks ago. (Yes.. I suppose that is a compliment to everyone here <ggggg>)

I've talked directly to UUNET several times and to Globalserve on several occasions but nothing seems to help. (well it might be a little better right now).. don't ya just love this technology? I thought networks were supposed to re-route if there were problems but all that stuff is over my head... and to be honest, would be just a little more than I really want to know.
