Try running a tracert and seeing where the connection dies. Open up a command line and type “tracert http://www.google.com” and then see what it says – it’ll bounce through each connection between you and google. If it dies at your own ISP somewhere I’d call them and complain.

So it’s just me, then… Weird. Sometimes I have to rapid-fire click on the refresh button to even get Google to load, and sometimes it just won’t load at all. It’s really irritating.

It was recent for us up here, and pretty must just lasted the day. Things appear to be normal around these parts this morning.

Is this a recent thing, or has it been going on for a week or more? Because my internet has sucked both at home and at work for a while now. Just as a small example, I can’t get Penny Arcade to open at all at work, but LICD barely works at home.

Well, blaming Comcast is something I enjoy, so you could do that anyway, but no, it’s probably not them (unless their borg-like collective has bought a lot more of the Internet than I’m aware of).
