Um, no, that was Usenet. The Internet was never given the same design robustness to work around clogs that Usenet has, as Usenet was designed to continue working smoothly even if most of the major hubs were hit with nuclear strikes. The Internet has nothing to do with DARPANet, either.

It’s now Monday, 29th and I still have painfully slow connections to certain parts of teh int0rwebz.

Apple’s iTunes (US) store for example, usually it takes me 5 minutes to download a 200 meg tv show – today it’s taking 30.

Amazon is still slow, as is the local(!) property website.

Connections to the UK and France seem fast as usual.

Is global internet demand is actually outpacing the infrastructure that can support it, as suggested by this article last year:

http://www.neme...k_capacity_2010

Perhaps the global demand specifically for online video is throttling the internet as this piece in Oct suggests:

Hope more governments of the world step up to take the fibre out of the private sector and subsidize it as a public service. We’d better get cracking…

@James Marino – BGP does not equal Border Gateway Patrol…people should really know wtf they are talking about before opening their mouths. Nearly EVERYONE runs BGP, or Border Gateway Protocol. See below…
http://en.wikip...ia.org/wiki/Bgp. Being the Core protocol of the Internet I would suspect that anyone who has a connection to the Internet has it running somewhere, either at their provider, or on their edge by using more than one provider.
