It used to sit & spin sometimes trying to look up a site. I'd cancel the load, and try again, and it would sometimes work. Now, its all better and snappy.<br>

</div>I think something is broken to. I called their 800 number about 0430 this<br>
morning and the recording said that there was a problem in "my area". The<br>
problem went away as soon as I changed my DNS ips to Open DNS. I punched the<br>
zero key to talk to someone to find out if the "problem in my area" was the<br>
same problem I saw. After about 30 minutes with the phone on speaker I gave<br>
up. I figured that at 0430 nobody but me would be calling. Who knew.<br>
