I started experiencing intermittent long connect times or actual 
time-outs about 3-4 weeks ago.  My subjective observation is it's worse 
during the daytime, but maybe not.  Connections are either lightning 
fast or painfully slow.

I attributed it to a few misconfigured servers at Yahoo, connect time 
depending on which server I happened to hit.  But there has been no 
outcry over at the dslreports.com AT&T Southwest forum and there 
certainly would be if the problem were that widespread.

So I've been assuming it's something with my setup: modem, router or SSL 
related.  I limit my workday checking of email to every 90 minutes or 
so, having to reconnect after the first time-out isn't that big a deal. 
  It almost always works for me on the first or second try, I haven't 
had time to go into full debug mode.
