Network problem?
 

Is there some kind of fiber cut in the USA? I can't reach tons of servers... For example

FROM www.wvi.com TO epochsystems.com.traceroute to epochsystems.com (208.236.105.3), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets

maby your ISP forgot to pay their bills ? :2 cents:

yes, verio and above.net forgot to pay their bills, that's probably it, smartass

Looks to me like your isp is WVI

wrong

Wierd... My trace fails but their page loads just fine. go figure

well it looks Sprint has some problems... http://www.sprintlink.net/maintview/index.cgi

yup major problems all over now its no joke

thehun down too

"Sprint is not announcing any of their routes to any other providers right now, so anyone that uses Sprint's network cannot get out to many places"

this is what I got from our ISP
