    Maybe it is a local thing. The big problem is not so much the long outages but the perpetual short ones (even though last night's post was about a longer one). Many times they're a minute or less, but they happen all the time (multiple times a day) and they're just long enough to drop the VPN connection Mark uses for work, etc. Our DSL was never that flaky.
