Is anyone else experiencing these annoying slowdowns for network connections to off-campus sites? The happen with increasing frequency and with no pattern I can discern. The connection appears to work PARTIALLY, but loading a web page or downloading something can take far longer than it should and sometimes fail. Yesterday late afternoon I was trying to update a new computer through Windows Update (at Microsoft's site) and it took forever, with several failed attempts along the way. Right now (6:50 am) it's happening again. Connections to on-campus sites are just fine during these times. I'm guessing something's happening either with our campus router or our connection to the cloud... Anyone else notice this? It's been happening for several weeks now. Thomas P.
