The internet is broken

[wolverine]

I can only get to a just a small handful of my bookmarked websites (including this one obviously) but cannot access others. Is there another worm out there?

I've got no problems. I checked Symantec's website and there's nothing out of the ordinary noted there. Its more likely your internet service provider who is having problems (or you need to reboot ).

Done it all...I've rebooted, shut my modem off and on, and have done the ipconfig /release and /renew. I'm using Telus' ADSL service, in case anyone else is having problems. I could call their support desk, but prior experience tells me that would be like trying to explain quantum physics to a cage full of baboons.

Have you tried a different browser? You may eventually have to reinstall your current browser. Also, clean up your temporary internet files (I would probably start with this).

It's working fine now. I believe it was Telus' problem, not mine.

Telus service

I receive a number of different Telus bills ADSL, work home, etc., and with some of them I elected to have them sent via e-mail. This works fine, except Ineed a printed copy for financial records, and they almost always print in a manner that makes it difficult to read the right hand column, which of course is the one with the numbers in it. So like a dutiful customer, I searched the help files on their website (an excercise in incredible complexity) but could not find anything relevant or helpful. I did, however, come across a link which invited me to send an e-mail request for help, if I was unable to locate the answer I needed. I followed the instructions, and soon received an e-mail with clear instructions on how to get right back to that part of the website which I had just carefully reviewed and found wanting. In short, they cannot even tell that the e-mail originated from the place they wanted to send me back to.
