Earthlink, ATT, Sprintlink etc they all use UU.NET crap. When one of those linsk go down, so does the DNS servers, which seems to be the first problem, IE if you are already UP then it is much easier to get reconnected, IE dont shutdown RT3 or you wont be able to connect again until UU.NET fixes the DNS. When they say WCOM carries more than 50% of the internet traffic, They aint kidding, and that also means when WCOM hicks, So does the internet. Anyone use MSN or AOL? I have tried 5 ISP's now and they seem to have one problem or another, IE they use UU.NET or they have some kin dof caching program that causes problems with SI and other web sites.
