just an update on this front, apparently this is a
problem either introduced in FC 6 or a microcode
update, but it turns out to be an ACPI problem,
setting acpi=off in the grub.conf file seems to fix
the problem.

As of GVTC, they seem to have fixed their problems too
or their up-link carrier did, since the service seems
faster too.
