An important question to ask people reporting this type of problem is are they getitng a normal busy (all modems busy) or a fast busy (telco out of circuits). Two very different problems. An ISP can work on fixing the first, but the second is a telco with a shortage of circuits between the customer and the isp.
It seems like a lot of people are at home, dialing into the Internet today. There is a major ice storm in the middle of the country, and its pretty much a holiday week elsewhere. Traffic seems to be moving on the major backbones, but some folks in the midwest report some problems dialing in from home.
