Horrible world trade center crash, traffic effect

Tue Sep 11 14:32:58 UTC 2001

Traffic patterns on our network are starting to look different than normal.
I expected more traffic but it seems that traffic volumes are decreasing
slightly.

What are others seeing?

few people (in pgh, PA) that i have been talking to on irc have
reported ./'d news sites everywhere.  (cnn.com, yahoo.com, msnbc.com,
etc.)  my office has been relegated am radio, which is pretty pathetic
for an ISP.

pretty poor performance for a network orginally designed to faciliate
communication in just such circumstances.  i hope that military and
federal communication is faring better than the commercial sites.

i assume that in nyc or dc only.  we are listening to AM radio just
fine...
