Local ISP difficulties
p2pnet.net News View:- Attention Canadian surfers (or some of them, anyway : )
p2pnet is on Shaw Cable and for some inexplicable (to us) reason, we can’t get into some web pages, especially search engines, and this is making life distinctly difficult, to put it mildly.
As Joni Mitchell says in Big Yellow Taxi, “You don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone.”
However, more to the point, this is affecting p2pnet’s Google search so if you are, or have been, on the site looking for something and you’re not getting anywhere, Sorry. It’s Them, not us.
It took us almost an hour to penetrate our local ISP’s beep-beep Busy signal, and then we were told it would take an estimated 27 minutes to get a live rep. In the meanwhile, apparently ‘multiple’ providers are having the same problem.
If anyone has any idea what’s going on, please feel free to tell us ; )
UPDATE:- 10:45 AM Pacific
We finally made it through to a Shaw rep who told us this is a Canada-wide problem impacting a number of ISPs, but that it’s by no means affecting everyone.
The rep wondered if the difficulties may be stemming from a California-based DNS server.
Meanwhile, everything now seems to be back to normal and we repeat, You don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone : )
Something you think we should know? tips[at]p2pnet.net

Thought i read a week ago or so, that Adelphia cable in the process of upgrading their service caps also ordered and installed new DNS servers. Not sure if that would affect other big ISPs though. I just thought it could be because im in Calfornia with Adelphia and after the cap increase and new DNS servers, browsing has been sort of unpredictable and laggy.
