WTF is up with Google?

[MartyMarts]

More often than not, when I search using Google, clicking on one of the links results in a 'Waiting for www.google.co.za...' annoyance which unless you refresh the page a couple of times does nothing. This has been going on for weeks now. It's bloody irritating!!

Upgrade from dialup?

In most cases this is NOT Google related but rather your ISP - trust me Google rarely has issues with their cloud servers

I have never experienced that one. Most be an ISP issue or maybe something with your computer.

I've experienced the same on MWEB's 384kb uncapped a lot lately.

Must be ISP related, nothing wrong here 384k cybersmart

It's not ISP related. Neither is it my browser or my hardware. From some of the responses it's clear I'm not the only one.

Thanks...

You're definitely not the only one; been getting the same.

I have had issues with google for years and on many ISPs. Have never got to the bottom of it and I can't find anyone else who experiences the same (except for people using my line). I think there is something odd with my line and Google but doesn't make much sense

My problem is that searching Google is a nightmare. Every search I have to stop and refresh, then it works. Gmail is also incredibly unrealiable.

Sounds like your slow connections to me.. Highly doubt its Google side otherwise everyone would experience it. I use Gmail and Google search pretty much all day every day and never experience these issues.

Slow connections? Nope. 10Mbit and I have this too. It's ONLY Google and Gmail.
