ANY SPEED ISSUES DURING WORLD
EVENTS ARE NOT RELATED TO USENET SERVERS:
This is to inform you of our observations regarding
internet traffic during the World Cup matches. Internet traffic around the world is
increasing in bursts, and most of these bursts have been correlated to be in line with the
times of the matches. Every ISP around the world is dealing with these traffic bursts. We
are handling the traffic fine on our end, but some ISPs downstream from us are having
trouble during these bursts. We see the traffic issues go away after a couple of hours,
again correlating with the end of a World Cup match.
Members who are using the ISPs that have trouble handling the traffic bursts may
experience slowness and buffering. We are being diligent about calling out hot spots to
ISPs when we see them, but that is a challenge in and of itself. If you experience any
issues after a World Cup match has completed, please open a support ticket and we will
investigate the specific issue.
Again, we are handling this load on our end very well, but we wanted to make you aware of
these issues as they are impacting ISPs across the world.
Thank you
