I am a hollywood resident and if this thing doesnt turn arround for us the Mayor will have hell to pay for the mistakes made in this project On a side note, Sling has participated in quite a few federal projects with great success, I wonder why they are having issues with this project....makes me wonder?????????

If Hollywood is having so much trouble with thier ISP, why dont they change them to Comcast. You woulod think after almost a year they would want to spend the tax payers money a little more wisely.

Where have you tried to connect? What equipment are you using? If it was working two weeks ago and stopped working recently, it may be the increased holiday load on the network. The recent weather seems to have affected a few APs as well, which we will look into on Monday. Stats from the 26th show the network hit 38,000+ requests/hr. The previous record of 34,000+ requests locked up the content filtering server (See my Nov. 12th post above). The ISP provides the Internet connection, content filtering and splash page components--which we have no control over. I am unable to log in remotely to the management console to check on bandwidth, so I will have to wait until I am back in Hollywood on Monday to check on it. Bryan Terry,
