    Default So my internet works and doesn't.

    So I am sitting here and nothing works on my internet except TWC and Steam (that I was already using). Not Steam store btw, only community. Literally nothing will connect whether it be Google, Yahoo, Bing, other forums, image uploading websites, etc.. TWC is my only hope in this darkness.

    Just blowing off some steam (), but might as well discuss it?

    Okay, I fixed it somehow by playing with buttons on my modem (I'm sure unplugging and replugging it in helped). I still have no idea what was going on...

    I feel sorry for you. DSL is pretty bad.

    Yes but the speeds DSL offers are unacceptable for the 21st century. I hope google fiber spurs DSL and cable companies to really improve their infrastructure in some areas.

    Only if Google is willing string fibre optic on every telephone pole in this country and I don't see that happening especially the way the telecommunication laws are written in California.
