The title to this post is wild, unconfirmed speculation. Can you even confirm speculation? Some nights I have trouble reaching certain websites. After a year of the up-down nature of this stuff, I may have spotted the pattern.
All the servers that I believe are housed in the USA are slow or completely unresponsive. All the servers I believe are housed outside the USA are fit as a digital fiddle. I spend a lot of time on the web, as you do -- at work, at home, and even in the car (it's a long story). I also bang against a regular set of uberservers (such as Google and BBC). These are puppies that should be lightning quick and mirrored beyond belief.
The gaping hole in the theory is that I'm sitting in the USA while surfing around the quick, non-USA servers when the USA slowdown occurs.
Interestingly enough, I can publish (like right now), but I can't call up any Blogger blogs. Are the servers housing the data for Blogger offshore, but the rest are in the USA?
Who can figure this out?
