Attention: All Canada <--> US and points beyond (haven't tested all, but
South America, Australia, and parts of Asia are affected -- Europe isn't,
so far!).

Note: This information should be deleted/ignored after 8:00am GMT

If you've been experiencing long waits or very slow downloads (sometimes
timing out), and/or Web Page access, don't bug your ISP.  Apparently a
router in Chicago or Seattle is down.  Probably be no more than 24 hours,
but you can all help by avoiding using browsers on North-South routes.  The
less people try to access Canada <->US or US<->Canada links, the easier the
traffic will flow over what is avaliable.

If you must access affected countries, please turn off sounds, animations,
pictures, and anything else (other than text) that will consume bandwidth. 
This will increase the likelihood of you getting through, and allow others
to get through as well.

Please DO NOT 'test" these links as that will just add to uneccessary
traffic.  Thanks :-).

At your own discretion, pass on this information locally.  However, it must
be reproduced completely.  You may add your own information after my
message.

As far as I know, mail and news are not as affected (if at all).
