Service hasn't changed much since the last post. It could be down for an hour or more or so intermittent is almost impossible to do anything. Or it could be good for a couple of hours. All in all extremely useless.

As one could guess the connection last night was up till about 1:30am today and remained very spotty overnight until 8am this morning when it went completely dead again.
