Well it's a funny thing b/c their online network status report says 
everything is clean and green, yet the tech support woman told me that 
this problem has been raging for five days, which is about the same time 
frame we've been having it.  Shortly after I posted this the bandwidth 
ground to but a trickle - no page would load fully, and my email server 
timed out consistently.  The only app that worked was IM.  I'm writing 
this from UNC, drove all the way over to make sure I wasn't missing some 
important email message.  I wasn't.  If it isn't completely better in 
the morning I'm going to start calling Time Warner execs and raising hell.

Y'all have a good night.
