I am not sure what is going on with connection issues could it be because of the flooding in Alberta I am not sure but I have been running smoke ping and these are my results since yesterday tell me what you think is going on?

I know for a fact that a number of large datacenters got hit. It wouldn't surprise me if several large fiber switches were hit as well.

now it does make sense I was trying to figure out what was going on and then read a post at the dslreports site where someone else was having the similar problems but in a different part of BC and it was mentioned that the flooding might be the reason.
kind of makes me feel a little guilty becasue yesterday I was complaining about my " Internet connection and there are people in Alberta that have lost there homes .

hmm now I wonder if it is my PC itself then because I have been playing Playing older games online on my old DFI p35 q6600 setup and have not one disconnect or lag or anything like it but on my main PC I try to surf and am having problems connect to the net I have tried with 3 different web browsers and when I am having problems i try a different web browser but still connection problems I am now starting to wonder if this asrock z77 motherboard is getting flaky. I have had a couple of USB issues where I had to unplug my remote control receiver thing and plug it into a different USB port or maybe it is just a coincidence but I am not sure how to check the LAN or the usb on this motherboard.
