I checked with Central Services and they told me this:

"… an Internet was sent by ... staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on
Friday.... it got tangled up with all these things going on the
Internet commercially.
...And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump
something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you
don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled,
when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be
delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of
material, enormous amounts of material."

It seems to be an intertube issue.
