Slow Internet

The Internet has been very slow since the Olympic Games started last weekend and I assume that it is because so many Chinese are online watching Olympic streaming video and reading news. At the same time, the filtering / censorship of news sites continues. True, China stopped blocking a few websites like Wikipedia and the BBC during the Olympics but they started blocking other websites. The Huffington Report for example is blocked in China now. News stories that contain specific words continue to be blocked. So it's a mixed bag.
