We are experiencing major attacks by speculators spamming us
with requests for domain names. Please bear with us as we
work to filter them out and restore service to normal.

That is absolutely correct and there is no doubt about it.
Some domains are registered within 20 minutes
(with a ticket often arriving one day later).
other domains (requested within the same hour)
are registered one week later.
For other requests no ticket nor anything after two weeks.
Questions to hostmaster at internic.net are usually not
answered.
No difference if you use a premier partner channel or not.
and if you get an answer from somebody at internic
regarding the reason of the problems:
lies all over the place (i don't invent this).

Usually you are lucky and everything goes fast.
But in many cases it is a despair.

I know computers and databases have and make problems,
much more then usually admitted.
But openness is the condition for improvement.
Please, Internic, come out and tell us:
if everybody knows you are working to solve the problems
it will be obvious that you need the money you get.
