I was within the vicinity of AIM earlier, and checked my email at a nearby internet cafe (bConnected). I thought their internet connection sucks, took me around 5 minutes after I had pressed the send button in GMail. When I came home, I thought my ISP is broken, it’s sluggish. Then, Jim Ayson sent an email through our mailing list asking if we are experiencing a net slowdown. Could it be another slammer virus attacking the net? One poster even replied to blame PGMA for the slowdown. Hehehe ..

How’s your internet connection now?
