You never know who's using who's pipes and what for. My ISP is obviously having problems but if thats the case then I imagine it's possible for other companies as well. The News services are all hosted out in other locations. The congestion or overload would come from the oversubscription of private IP traffic which is different from just plain ol website hosting. Several international news services are using that as a way to relay their video feeds. All of this is originating from the same building Like Whoa is hosted in hence the busy routers & switches.
