everywhere i go the internets seem slow. home, work, hotspots. different computers, doesnt matter. whether i go to hulu or gmail or facebook or my employers intranet or any number of places, it seems like theres always this (relatively) huge lag to just load up a webpage. this seems to have been going on for several months.

my download speeds arent affected, i get up to 1MB/s as advertised. streaming video, etc., are okay. its just the initial load of any (and seems like every) webpage.

anyone else having this? could it be a regional thing (im in washington state)?

yes, i know this is totally anecdotal. i dont feel like doing research. that's what you experts are for.

It is all those Egyptians loading up our servers and networks. Someone should cut them off or something.
