Often, I can access most other Google services without a problem, but Google's home page either takes ages to load, or just does not load at all. However, after a couple of reconnects, Google works like a charm!

Google having issues:
Code:
C:\>tracert www.google.com

The only difference between the two is my IP and the IP www.google.com resolves to.

Am I the only one who is having this occational trouble accessing Google search?

I am situated in Brackenhurst, Alberton.
 
Am I seriously the only having the problem? It's really bad again tonight! Interestingly, tonight the traffic is not stopping at Cape Town as usual...

And again tonight. I've tried different browsers, OSs, the whole shebang - same result.
