Bwog you’re one step away from a post-grad gig with channel 7 on your side helping the little people solve problems. Story up 20 minutes and web is fixed. Impressive work…

It’s not really secure so be careful logging into facebook, there are more involved/more secure ways of going about it if you google it.

Just the luck of the draw.

Things will be wonky for a while until things can be rerouted and perhaps power restored.

Also, friends on time Warner and fios both have no problem getting on fb. Seems likely they are throttling high traffic sites. They should announce an action like that.
