| anybody having problems with internet?
started today, seems like pages arn't loading properly, i had a few coworkers say that they are having same problems at home also. (but they arn't computer literate, so cant take thr word)
need to refresh page a few times to load.
havn't tried Firefox, just IE?
somebody mentioned it could be a worm blocking ports.

Firefox has been on and off this past week for me. Sometimes it's slow and sometimes it's fine.
Today, my internet has been d/c-ing around evening time for some odd reason. Seems like things are fine for now.

I have a splitter before the cable connects to the modem and usually that messes up the signal. If you got a splitter as well just call shaw and tell them you want to change it.

I'm having issues with my Internet connection, too. It's hella faster these days. For close to a year, it's been slow, but for the last three to four days, it's been really good. My wireless connection is faster than being plugged in (ethernet). Weird, weird, weird. Doesn't make any sense. Unless, Shaw upgraded something in the neighbourhood.
