Slow link to US?

Has anyone else noticed a real SLOW down in internet links to the US from the UK today?

For example:
Hotmail - Slow
Hilton - Slow
Microsoft Online Help - Slow

It's driving me bonkers.

Everyone seems to be blaming Microsoft for any issues with the net, them, or the BBC.

Its all the computer-savvey kids downloading high School Musical 2

Yeah, hotmail has been slow to load, and quite often has been refusing to send emails first time.

There are currently some "issues" in the US and South America - an overview can be found here:

Can you really blame them?

Are you interpreting that from the stats? As it seems the only info on that site relates to problems from 2003

I do know that a recent microsoft update that force a restart caused some problems with Skype at the back end of last week, wonder if reboots are the cause of other issues.
