Half of the websites I’ve tried to go to today have loaded - briefly - and then the screen has been replaced with this: [Imgur: The magic of the Internet](http://imgur.com/a/puA2A)

My ISP is Meramec Interactive S-Something N-Something, neither VNET nor SpeedNet or whatever the fuck this is about.

I’ve done multiple virus scans that have picked up no trojans or malware. I also note that I had the exact same problem once - and only once - while looking at a webpage on my iPhone, so this leads me to believe it has something to do with my utterly shitty ISP. I also note that apparently there was a major DDOS attack on some internet utility of some importance today, so maybe that has something to do with it as well.

Any ideas?

It’s probably the DDOS.

Speednet is your provider’s internet service: [http://www.misn.com/index-speednet.html](http://www.misn.com/index-speednet.html)

That address is just your router or one of your ISP’s gateways during this whole kablosion.
