AT&T West → Slow speeds in the Orange County area (So. CA)

Anyone in Orange County noticed a slow down in speeds this evening? I am getting speeds of anywhere from 1200 to 440? I have been getting speeds of 1200 + for the last 7 mo. with pings of 30 or less. Now my pings are 170 +?

Well up here in the San Fernando Valley my download as also gone way down. I was connecting at 1200 now im at 300. Funny though my upload stayed the same, 106 upload. How could this be?

I'm somewhere in the middle of you guys, and I'm not having any probs at all. Got 653/109 on the Megapath speedtest a minute ago, which is right in line with what I normally get.

Irvine, CA here. Tonite, 12/13/00, I have not been able to maintain sync for more than a few minutes from 4 pm till now (8:30 pm). I'm on 56kbs dial up to post this. Even as I write this, the dang Westell keeps blinking at me every few minutes. It's the story of my DSL-life. Still thinking of throwing in the towel and getting capped.
