For the last two days I've experienced very slow browsing speed on some international websites. I just assumed it's due to the "end of the month high usage problem" but I still have trouble loading some intl sites even today.

Normally when I load cnn.com it takes less than a second before the site starts loading, now it can take up to 10 seconds before it starts. This usually indicates a DNS problem but I've changed to the OpenDNS IP's and I'm still experiencing the same problem.
Just me or anyone else experiencing this?

It works when I use the SAIX cache server but that's not a permament solution since I'm reluctant to provide username/pwd details on sites while browsing through a cache server.
