The internet has been an absolute dicknose lately. We had an outage a bit ago but that’s not the worst of it. For the last couple of weeks I’ve been having connection issues with steam. Every time I view their forum or the rest of the community it will either timeout, partly load with broken html and very rarely load correctly. I’ve done a tracert and it consistently dies at the 13th hop out, qwest.
I know that it’s not just me either, others in places like Grants Pass and even parts of California have issues routing through that one point (the rest of the net works fine). Of course despite all of the complaints over here, our corporate internet overlords claim that we’re all imagining it… I’m sick and tired of having to load something again, and again, and again or to be in a game like L4D or L4D2 and suddenly have the connection randomly timeout. It’s bullshit.
