don't know what the official count was but it appeared very slow on xmas. at one point there were 2 members and 3 guests. manybe your isp was just busy. (probably everyone chatting with relatives and friends wishing them merry xmas )
Our ISP appeared to be having some packet loss issues... I was getting 15% packet loss, not sure if it was my ISP or another upstream provider. I was too busy doing other things to really get concerned about it. Plus it was Christmas... who ya going to call?
