Makes me wonder. Sometimes when I go to facebook, it doesn't come up on first or second try. I've seen that with other sites as well. Hmmmmm. When I get a error, it is instant. It seems to be so instant that it doesn't even have time to do a DNS lookup much less hit the website. By the way, I use AT&T too. DSL after many years of dial-up. Dale :-) :-)
