Akamai, based in Cambridge, Mass., said the distributed denial of service attack, which started early Tuesday morning, had a “significant impact” on less than 1 percent of its customers, which Akamai hasn't identified.

( I told you I lived close by. L O L

I'll be cutting thru that way again on the way back tomorrow,
but I have to be somewhere else, close to my home "cave", and I am really pressed for time, sorry.

Next time I'm up in New London, I'll let you know before hand.

I usually head that way often.
Thanks!
