I switched from GCI two years ago because GCI was doing that to me. Starting
with about 6mo ago ACS has been doing the same thing. What I notice is that
certain times of the day or night will all of a sudden come to a screeching
halt. Most notably is 4-5pm and then again about 1am.
The symptoms are immediately noticeable. On downloads I usually get 25k bps,
but during those times it will drop to 3-4k bps. The fastest I have ever
received is 38k bps. I know it is ACS because Arthur's box is hosting my
home page - that should be a straight shot for ACS. The information flow
from my web site will start the herky jerky and last one to two hours.
I have a memory like an elevant, ACS may have me over a barrel at the moment
but when the next game comes into town, they will loose my money for many
years to come. I have been watching ATT very closely. I am hoping that ATT
will be viable in a year or two.

Subject: web access problems
I seem to have problems accessing certain websites. I had been thinking
it was a problem with ACS's DNS, but after that deal with Dee's LDP
mirror site the other day, I'm wondering if the problem could be
elsewhere.
When I attempt accessing some websites, notably Alaska Computer Brokers
(www.akcb.com) and occasionally ebay. I get anywhere from 50% to 90% of
the page loaded, then information transfer just stops. No error
messages, no timeouts, just stops. When I access them from my box at
work through GCI using all the same software, everything works normally.
I attempted talking to ACS's tech support about this a couple of months
ago and got the usual line about our stuff is working fine, it must be
the site you're accessing.
