I'm getting frequent 'Connection Timed Out' messages for various websites, local and international.

Refreshing often helps, but I might need to refresh a page a few times.

All websites are taking long to load! Pinging overseas websites has a packet loss of between 7% - 16%.

I'd say it's been happening the last few weeks. I'm on a 4096 Kbps connection.

I have tried using dsl-cache.saix.net:8080 as a proxy, but to no avail.

Any ideas what's going on? Is it just me?
