Broken Record

I know I've blogged about this before, but I have to vent... Pacbell DSL sucks! These last 4 days have been unbearable. The quality of service is very spotty. I'll be cruising along with 80kb/s transfer rates, and a minute later it will slow down to 1.6k/s – which is slower than my 56k modem! Ugh.

It's been months since I've been able to check email reliably. It currently takes a few minutes just for my mail program to login to the mail server. I lose packets frequently. Last night I did a ping to Pacbell's own nameserver and had a 33% packet loss. IMs take 8 seconds to come through. Online multiplayer games aren't fun because I'm always lagging behind and interacting with objects that aren't there anymore.

This sucks... =(
