While this doesn't speak for the entire Internet, it is probably quite representative. http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/09/13/154222&mode=thread And if you're interested in CMC but don't read Slashdot, you probably should visit the link anyway.

Burns Sent: Monday, September 17, 2001 9:14 AM To: Air-l@aoir.org Subject: [Air-l] Internet traffic on Sept. 11 Has anyone seen statistics on Internet traffic on Sept. 11 and 12? If so, where? I noticed that the major news websites were really "slow" on Sept. 11. I also heard the CEO of Earthlink on NPR talk about huge spikes in traffic to his member sites. He also mentioned that e-mail use was down, and the use of synchronous chat was up. I'm teaching a CMC class and would love to talk about it in class. Ryan J.
