Your not alone.

For the last 4 days ive had unusual things happening to me in the air. I was b17 and an La5 came under my 6, watch him at 240 behind me and i let lose. Every bullet went through his plane, Every single one. No hits..

This has also been happening in fighter AC i was flying, 300 dead 6 shot, and bullets went right through them with no hits.

Net status showed everything was fine.Gets frustrating when T&Bing with Spits that should be dead, but fly through guns..

Dog out.....

"Since our move to North Carolina, our connect times have improved..so if you are experiencing any connect problems, it must be your ISP.."

Wardog-

That is exactly what I am seeing. Unload inside 500 gets squat.

I do thank the respondants today, that really does clarify things for me a lot. I figured something big must be happening on the net that I didn't know about.

Let's see, in a recent 24 hour period, Napster was told to have moved around 20 million files.
What's the average size of those things? 1MB? That's around 1 million MB's a hour of data over the Internet.

Does not take a rocket scientist to figure out why the Internet has been a shambles.

Nah, Mp3's are much bigger. 2-8 Megs is a nice range. I'd say an average would be about 4 Megs, being conservative. Most of mine are around 5 Megs and change.

Works out to about 926 Megs PER SECOND. Wow.

Die Napster DIE!

I had no idea they were that big. Sheesh. No wonder the Internet has been running slower than molasses that been sitting outside at the North Pole for a week.

May be it explains weird stuff happened to me in last 4-5 days like being killed right after takeoff by some guy who is not even logged in AH and with pure green clear sector on radar. Also I was getting about 5 disconnects every evening these days. Normally I have at most one disco per week if HTC does not plays with the servers.
