Ever since the 'Akamai' Incident, Yahoo Mail hasn't been the same. 

I can ping to it just fine, I just can't login and read my yahoo mail.
When I can it's really slow. Ever since the Upgrades and the Akamai
incident, Yahoo has been really out of whack when accessing from
Comcast.

I'm also having issues with Gmail. But atleast gmail Isn't as bad,
just really slow.

ping mail.yahoo.com
