Did the Chinese turn the net off in the US?

Only way I could get on, was using my cell phone. Neither home computer will connect. And the phone won`t open facebook???

There are a couple of pages that I go to, like my school districts web mail and chrome always seems to freeze, otherwise it works great and is my primary browser.

Well T/W says their modem is a-okay. That it must be our router. Took the thing back to Staples. Tell them what the tech at T/W says. Since the thing is less then 8 months since purchase. Staples guy says three others have been in yesterday claiming problems with T/W net services.

Only by an act of God, can I access the thing right now.

T/W is suppose to bring a new modem out today. Since this all started happening with their recent upgrades.

So fingers & toes crossed. I'm on the net for the time.
