has any one noticed that in the past few days the internet has been slow?

anywhere i go weather it be home or school, the internet has been running very slowly.. at school i have a very fast connection but its running really slow.

has anyone noticed it? ive noticed it since superbowl.

espically on sites like youtube has the speed at which i can watch videos has gone down quite drastically. i can only watch about 6 seconds of video at a time before it has to stop and load some more where as before it was almost loading at the same time it was playing.

anyone else notice it?

i am running internet explorer in most cases.

I've had this problem since Christmas. I rarely use the internet any more because of it. It's not just my ISP, everyone in my area has the same problem.
