Bad Days Explanation?

[celato]

The last week or so I have been having problems with my Verizon internet. Looks like DNS issues mostly. Some sites load, others say they can't resolve the domain name. Manually punching in the IP address takes me right to the website, so it is a DNS issue. That got me thinking though, when a company like Verizon with millions of subscribers has a network wide issue that could take a huge toll on affiliate sales. Since many smaller ISP's piggy back on larger ISPs networks it could affect companies other than the one with the problem. Obviously a customer can't buy a program if the links wont load for them. Since my low sales started about the same time I started having Internet problems of my own I can't help but think the 2 are related. Anyone think this is probable? Could a single ISP's problem cause lots of affiliates to have poor sales?

I think this can be a problem, and actually was for me for about two days. I know some of the big dogs in IM use various ISP's so that this sort of thing doesn't happen to them, or at least balances out.
