timely Internet news

[Eddie Rozier]

Hello All-
This is the traffic report I use. It may be hard to accurately pinpoint
why your connection is slow using this site. However, I think it is a
good gauge of overall activity. The interesting information are the
router statistics.
One interesting note: I have been monitoring it over the last 2 months
or so and for some reason the China/Hong Kong router went down several
times and for some reason was removed from the list recently. Hmmm....
Anyway, here is the site.
