    Is the Internet slow today?

    Not everything, but a lot of sites have been reaaly slow and timing out for me today, I cant help wondering if it is the stampede of sky watchers moving over to P2P to get their fix, or has something broken somewhere?

    Might just be an area fault with NTL/Virgin or whoever they are now.

    Well that's blatently wrong. Around August it must have been, the day tickets The Killer's first tour in support of Sam's Town went on sale (not the arena tour they're on currently), the TicketMaster website was down for around the same. Got some progress occasionally, but it was essentially dead, trying both on several machines at work, and VNCing home.

    Thankfully I got tickets for the arena tour, and DAMN was it worth it

    Take That TicketMaster.
