For those of you feeling nostalgic, here's the chart of the average gas
prices in London vs the average gas prices in Detroit for the past

- A 14-hectare (35-acre) site will be developed on the Wally World water park site at Wonderland and Southdale roads, which may include another Wal-Mart store, the city's fourth.

- That corner has also seen a big box Loblaw's, a big box Canadian Tire and a larger LCBO, among other commercial development.

Well, not really. In case you were wondering why things were slow (and here you were just thinking that they oversold or screwed something up again), this article should clear things up a bit.

Basically, they just cut network speeds in half. More specifically.. They cut network speeds in half without telling anyone. And we're so used to them screwing up the network that we just chalked it up to another "technician" screwing up a router.
