GG website is soooo slowwwwww

#21 It may be something with my local network.
ie, the site is always zippy from home, but dog-slow from work.
it's just odd that the rest of the internet is super fast from work.
anywho.
thanks for the input, everyone.

#22 Gg is slow to load when you use internet on a 12k phone thats three years old.

.....

#23 It's good for me too

#24 I had this problem July29-Aug3..

All better now though =)

PS: YEs it was taking 15-20 seconds to load a page. Usually takes less than 1-2 secs

#25 Actually the site is fine for me today too,
altho nobody's at work today so our local network load is unusually low.

i really hope it stays this way!

here's comparative traceroutes if anyone's interested.
possibly the hiccup at 207.109.243.74 was responsible ?

#31 Heya bryce -
as mentioned above, it's normal and correct for the traceroute to dead-end at 64.112.225.134.
the problem seems corrected for everyone who saw it.

#32 Flys up here in Canada!, go red/white

#33 Flys up here in Canada!, go red/white

#34 Go red/white/blue

#35 I had dial-up in my last house. it was the slowest thing imaginable. 2 minutes to connect, 30 seconds to load google, 90 secs to load gg.......so glad we got high speed


or what i think is high speed. Im seeing people with page loads less than 100ms, and im a little over that each time. maybe its incredibly slow and i just got used to it?
