I noticed that most of the root DNS servers go thru *.tbone.rr.com --
anything that goes thru those routers seems to get jacked up. Using
Level3's DNS directly that bypasses tbone.rr.com helps with some of the
browsing speeds and for some reason helps with the YouTube streaming..

But the over all download speeds are still very slow. A fraction of what
they were prior to 2 weeks ago -- when we had that morning long outage.

I'm starting to fear the golden days of premium Internet service at home
is over.
