Re: what's going on with yahoo and gmail lately?

  • From: Joe Shen

As mail.yahoo.com directs incoming login/mail_box_accessing request to some other host, the long latency of
DNS resolution time may derive to timeout of webpage access.  I solve this problem by set those name-to-ip
record in /etc/hosts before ( a bad choice, :-()

A question out of focusing, who know when Google will open Gmail to public? 

regards

Yes, try calling them. You *might* get through. These days they
seem to hang up on about 1 of 3 customers who call in.

I've been back on their "High Speed Internet" for about 3 months
now and it seems to be getting worse every day. They are either
overselling, or this new wholly-owned network of theirs is built
very wrong.


Honestly though.. if you use your home 'Net connection for anything
important, I'd look for an alternative. I routinely have 19ms to my
next hop.. about 4 miles away. I happen to have Verona and
Plainfield directly in front of me as well.. I think it's our area.
