    Network Status

    A local ISP has this webpage that they call "Network Status" that has information on the www as far as outages and slowdowns, etc. You can view it here:

    http://www.georgian.net/status.htm

    It only involves dialup, though, and I am wondering if anybody else knows of a similiar website, I have cable.

    Don't everybody go there at once. This is a small town ISP and I don't want them to crash.

    Honestly, if you're looking for some kind of status page for your ISP, the best way to find it is to actually call your ISP and ask. Most of the big providers these days have a page in their Support area.... but don't count on that for your status. Earthlink has had a number of problems in the last year that didn't get onto the website until after they were fixed or you couldn't see them because you couldn't get online.

    My cable provier does have a page. Just flashed back to that. Its here:


    http://www.rogershelp.com/help/conte...ws/index.shtml

    Doesn't mean much unless you monitor it.

    An interesting aside. In a little town north of here, a company started hiring people for a boiler room (read phone room) and if your forehead was warm, you got hired. Then they started training people. There was two three hour training sessions a week, and at the end of the week they gave you a test, and if you passed, you could carry on. They now do tech support for Comcast Cable, which I understand is huge in the States but has no presence in Canada. Go configure.
