Has the speed of your DSL line been upgraded recently (perhaps without your knowledge?) A while back I was using a Cayman 3220 with Bellsouth 1.5 Mbit DSL without problems. I upgraded to their 3.0 Mbit DSL when it became available. Although rated up to 8 Mbit, the Cayman was showing huge amounts of CRC errors and causing similar weirdness like what you describe. I bought a non-ISP-specific Westell 6100 and all was well.
The Gold Club, my favorite club here in Memphis has gotten very slow the last couple of months. It is being renovated, the theory is people don't come in because they think it's closed, even though there are banners hanging that say it's open. My favorite there started working at another club (Christie's), I went there to see her this past weekend, I hadn't been there in months. Amazing how they moneygrub you to death. They have a small VIP room that is now $10 admission, used to be free. What made it annoying was a bouncer reprimanded my favorite for taking me into the area without a wristband, but I HAD bought one, he didn't even check! They do a "showtime" every hour or so where the girls are forced to push hats, t-shirts, lighters, and other crap on you. They charge $10 to bring in a bottle, this fee is not present at my favorite club, although both are run by the same company. If you order a can of Sparks they pour only half the can into a glass for you behind the bar and sell the other half to someone else! All this in a bad economy, when they should be providing value for your dollar.
Not sure how long I can continue to see my favorite in this kind of place. It makes me very sad.
Back then my mother was a cancer patient, her first chemotherapy was on 9/11/2001. We were in the waiting room of the doctor's office, they started turning on the TV's. I wasn't glued to it like some others were, I was trying to focus on getting my mother through the 2-3 hour chemo treatment and the resulting nausea and side effects.
