"FYI to all RR users in NY
About an hour ago there was a pole taken out by an accident in Bethlahem NY that carried the fiber for our pop to the internet. All traffic is being routed through another connection right now. It will take a few hours, probably 3-4 hours, for the pole / fiber to be fixed. As the night goes on and more and more customers get online, Bandwidth / latency will probably be an issue.

So if you are trying to get outside the RR network, you will probably see high pings and slower downloads as the night progresses, until the fiber is fixed."



I got this from gaming.stny.com the host of that site works for Road Runner. Just thought you might like to know and save some techies some times
