Day 3 of Cogent v. Level 3. I'm placing more and more of the blame on Cogent and those who use that cheap-ass ghetto ISP for their Internet access. That would put the blame, vicariously, on USF. I'm not sure what to do. I have fiber internet through RapidSys, a Verizon reseller. The local TW RoadRunner routes through Level3 too. Am I going to have to subscribe to AOL or some shiat just to be able to access USF? Mind you, if I can't get to USF, I can't do any research or write any papers, since I can't get into the USF gateway to access the library databases, etc. My email, which notoriously goes over quota on a daily basis as is, hasn't been checked since Tuesday. I'm really frustrated and upset about this, and a lot of that frustration comes from the fact I can't seem to find ANYONE on the Internet even talking about this. Even slashdot's thread from two days ago has dwindled. I am simply astonished that a huge section of the internet is separated from another section and no one's talking about it. Augh.
