Anyone else having problems with GMail and iBurst.

I keep getting timeouts on both my PC's.

But I am not having any problems with GMail on my Blackberry, so it seems like an iBurst issue.
 
Doubt it's Gmail - used it extensively late last week, incl. testing changing settings Thurs/Fri. for fw'ding mails, and not a single problem.

Must be iBurst, which I've never had.
 
What are the symptoms of the problem? I tested and it is fine.

Sign in ok then it stops loading halfway, and I get a tiny blue notice on the left saying gmail can't connect, despite that I can read my mail and send replies. I refresh, and sometimes it then finishes loading, or I have to open another window and try again when it's generally successful. Infuriating.
 
Just read a thread HERE where the WA clients are complaining about the same thing. Makes me think it's Gmail and not any ISP.
 
Gmail works fine and no slow load speeds on my Blackberry which leads me to believe it is iBurst.

I connected to my friends Telkom line and logged into GMail perfectly fine which also points to an iBurst issue.
 
Loading into GMail Basic is also extremely slow which is really worrying, as that is normally my gotto when speeds are really slow. Everything else seems fine just GMail. Any reason only GMail on iBurst?
 
Well, I download my gmail in outlook and have none of these problems. Maybe get a mail client and set it up...?
 
I'm still having timeouts with GMail. Still can't figure if it is a GMail or iBurst thing. Are any of you still having issues? I have tried different DNS Settings. My Blackebrry is fine. Which leads me to think it IS iBurst. I don't want to set up my GMail in my mail application. I already have a couple of email accounts setup there and would rather keep my GMail separate.
 
The Gmail web interface has been working for me all along, but for the last two weeks the chat window often doesn't load.
