What does disabling this do -and why does it work?
I actually emailed Afrihost to find out why gmail was so sucky. (It [gmail] works fine with WebAfrica, though :-/ -with quic protocol enabled.)

Hey guys

It's been discussed quite a bit. I personally didn't see any issues on my end until a week or so ago. A mate of mine saw it today.
I can assure you it's not something we can change/ fix from our end.

For those of you having trouble with Google services and Chrome:

open a new tab and go to chrome://flags/
Find "Experimental QUIC protocol."
Set it to "Disabled" instead of "Default"

Boom, Google services working again. This was driving me nuts the past few days, and appears to be related to Google switching this protocol on for their services and having it enabled by default in Chrome. Not sure what the benefit is supposed to be, but clearly something's buggy with it right now and disabling it has no negative effects.

QUIC is a transport layer that Google are experimenting with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QUIC

Ok, well I disabled it and it seems to be working again.
Cool.
