I was able to get a short, garbled version of my FB page with just the top
and left side about an hour ago. It took almost a half hour, whereas I
normally get the full page in 5-10 minutes.
The connectivity I had for most of Monday was actually better than what I
normally see on dialup. In the recent past, I've had to refresh once or twice
to be able to have access to notifications and messages. On Monday it all came
on the initial connection. But then all hell broke loose Monday night and all
I see since then by way of downdetector is FB bouncing off the bottom.
Looking at the TCP listing here, they seem to have bypassed that portal
(?) in Dallas/Fort Worth, but then the other portals are crashing in turn.
I've lost track of how many they're attempting to use.
