Default AO Sporadic For You Today?

I've had a few times when AO wouldn't open today, I wonder if its the server getting overwhelmed by excess users? Or perhaps its just the overall bandwidth thing that Telus and other providers are dealing with?

It's one thing for the gov of AB site to go down, but this is important.

First they confine you to your home, then they take away your communications, then the torture. Reruns of Maude on all 300 channels, Netflix and Crave. And the only web page that comes up on the internet is Trudeau's Liberal party.

I heard from a friend in the telecom world that the Canadian big 3 carriers are experiencing usage levels ( wireless and bandwidth) that they would normally deal with over 30 days, they are seeing the same usage levels in one day now. Patience and calm will be one of the cornerstones to get us through this world event...and AO of course.

Even my text messages and phone calls seem to be sporadic today. Calls Im waiting for are going straight to voice mail and text messages are coming in multiples at a time.

Exclamation Memory test!

Seems to me that the site has experienced difficulties the last few times the screeching problem child has been forcibly ejected from the forum.
Maybe it was a coincidence?

The only bit of sanity for most of us, these trying times. Talking to the dog and he's answering me.

Anything to do with the not wanted or needed 5G internet faster than lightning and a train hauling oil... supposed to be not very good for us health wise.. plus I think it’s China pushing this on us, don’t buy their phones, they are in control even when you have it in your hands..
Darn that went on longer than I was expecting... Sorry but I had some spare time!
