1205767	2011-05-31 03:44:00	That's actually changed largely (more often than not I'd suggest now), and so if an ISP is having issues, it's quite possibly to do with their own oversubscription of international circuits and local peering / interconnect agreements etc So it's no longer (Again, for most, there's still some places being upgraded, Henderson Valley is one example where a friend of mine is stuck) the Exchange that's the issue, but a little further upstream	Chilling_Silence (9)

When he used to have dialup, it wouldn't connect above 27kbps. Now he has a wireless Internet service.	Agent_24 (57)
