Google is broken

[Azimuth-1]

I'm currently staying in Fairland, Johannesburg.

I can't connect to Gtalk, and Google searches turn up a connection error. All other browsing is fine.

Please recheck. Tests seem fine.

Provide us with a tracert please.


Thanks

Aaaaaaaand it's all dead now. :/

I've had connectivity problems since I arrived here on Saturday. Everything fine, fine, fine, then dead.

I'm on deadline here. If I didn't have access to a friend's DSL next door, I'd be raging.

[EDIT] Shaun, I think it's probably the massive thunderstorm that's just rolled in. Ah, Joburg.

I had some issues with Google yesterday as well. The secretary @ work also had a problem this morning (not using iBurst, but Seacom).

I've been getting this message from the Google search engine from time to time over the last 5 days:

We're sorry...

Been getting error messages from Google all day yesterday. Not an ISP fault but rather Google going a bit wonky

Possibly, but I haven't seen that message on Vodacom or Neotel.

Have you tried using http://www.google.com/ncr ?
This might help.

Didn't know about that, thanks. Will try if it happens again.

Getting the 'Google is Sorry...' error again tonight. Using http://www.google.com/ncr gets me the search form, but I get the error message instead of any results.
