TTTO Diva's Lament (Whatever Happened to my Part?)  by Spamalot

Whatever happened to the 'net?
Tried to log on, but I was met
With "your packets won't go through"
Now there is nothing I / can do

	I've been on hold for far too long
	I had the time to write this song
	Your user is unhappy
	The internet is crappy
	Why is this problem not fixed yet?
	Whatever happened to the 'net?

		MTR the DNS / It drops almost all requests
		And the rest / Hardly enough to get a view
		I've no browsing and no game / This lag causes me pain
		Please fix it or I'll have to drive to work (Drive to work!)

	Oh when will you_ make it go / I want to work, please make it so
	I've been sitting here on hold / More-than an hour_ so I'm told
	I might as well just use my car / except that work is very far
	I want to go online / When will the 'net be fine
	It seems to me that I should multihome
	Whatever happened to the 'net?

(40 users on hold ahead, took a shower and then wrote this)
(First verse and chorus done by around the halfway point, 19 ahead of me, at 44 mins)
(Rushed the last verse, 7 callers left when I got to it)
(Connected at 1:15, had me reboot the router which perhaps changed some internal routes? Anyway, working at 1:20 in the call)
