Seems slower in responding to inputs - was also slow yesterday.

I just did a trace from my computer to Trains.com.  It took eleven "hops" just to get to Chicago.  After than the trace timed out.  Any of those eleven routers could have been a choke point at some point in the day.  

While it's possible that the site hosting the Trains website, etc, was busy, it's also very possible that the problem was somewhere between "here" and "there" that had nothing whatsoever to do with the Trains site.

It was s-l-o-w early this evening, but seems to be back to normal now.

I don't know whether Comcast's nationwide problems had anything to do with it, but that's a possibility.  Other sites were slow for me, but this one was fine.

It was slow for me, too, today, but has started to speed back up.
