I'm on Sympatico as well, and have noticed the same thing. Google/Yahoo
resolve in DNS but are unavailable. Various Gentoo master rsync servers are
reachable while others are not. About 90% of my bookmarks work, and of the
10% that don't work I know several of them did work earlier this morning.

If I could VPN to work, I could piggyback their (non-Sympatico) connection
for awhile, but alas I can't reach them either :)

Some large downloads I started yesterday are still chugging along, so it
seems whatever is wrong is upstream of my immediate system and DSL line.

Guess I'll just wait it out....

Regards.
