Is the Bank of America website down?
i cant get it to work, and my bill is due, what the heck..
It's not down all of the time, but it has been for most of the day for me. Super annoying to me..uhh

A Bank of America spokeswoman said the slowdown started early today and resulted from a routine systems change. The spokeswoman didn’t comment on what the change was, and said the bank hopes it would be back to normal soon.

The online account problems have sparked of flood of interest — where else? — online. Five of the top 20 hottest searches on Google are related to Bank of America. And BofA’s help account on Twitter account is doing a brisk business in queries this afternoon.

Hopefully, BofA’s outage won’t be as lasting as one J.P. Morgan Chase experienced in September, when access to its online banking service was interrupted for three days. J.P. Morgan pledged to refund fees from any missed payments resulting from the outage.

I think that the server gets slow because of all the direct deposits it has to handle. Also most people pay bills at the end of the month..or..may be.. they're being hacked???
