Could be the routes out of the isp, could be their backbone connectivity is

Wow! I want a refund on my 10-years of linux tee-shirt. They said it all started

Maybe you should switch to an ISP that not only supports linux, but loves it. I

people fighting over the support call. We tend to get a little giddy when we
have to support linux users.

That's too bad. :-( This is happen to lots of business, not just ISPs. First
