Which kind of sucks, because I just clicked “book ticket now” on a travel site.

Now I guess I have to … gasp … use the phone and TALK to a real person.

Seems to be coming back…

Must be a telus problem…

Down again, seems to stop at the telus gateway. A little birdy tells me that Telus is replacing some equipment that’s gone flaky.

Maybe they should put more money into their equipment than on supporting pet stores.

they can’t. they’re too busy giving away the store buying internet customers away from existing ISPs !
