Weird Google Issue

Postby Choma on Sat Jul 17, 2010 9:02 pm

Okay this might sound weird, but im trying to figure out whether this is just local to our ISP or computers here, or country....
so here goes....

1) Go to google.co.nz or whatever local google you use and do a benign search - everything okay?
2) now, get a fresh google page, and go to image search, and do a search. Did any images actually appear?
3) Finally, right after trying the image search, try and go back to the main google page by typing the URL or clicking back, or clicking the google logo....
Did it work?

Here's what happens when i do the above:
1) the first search works fine,
2) the image search loads the page, but no pictures,
3) then google just wont load for about 5 minutes afterwards. Nothing, zip, nada.

So i guess what I'm asking is this: Anybody else experiencing this? or is our House/ISP/Country just lucky?
replies most definitely wanted - especially from NZ users (if you're reading this)

BTW: we are on Slingshot internet, and are located in Hamilton, NZ.
And this phenomenon is being experienced on all our comps in our house which are:
(1 WinXP; 1 Win7; 1 MacOSX; 1 PS3; 1 iPhone; and an iPodTouch)

ha, cool.
Well its not Aussie related, and NIR_ThatGuy (my younger bro) elsewhere in hamilton confirms that google works fine for him.

so that just leaves this house, or this ISP.

on monday ill have to ring up slingshot:

1) go through a voice recognition system that must hate me, because it never listens to what i say...
2) listen to sh**ty "music",
3) eventually talk to a person, who will no doubt inform me that im speaking to the wrong division,
4) listen to sh**ty "music" - again,
5) eventually talk to someone who cant understand me due to the natural language barrier that comes from being half a world away, and once he does understand me, will tell me that everything is fine on their end...
6) get drunk, then return to 1) and try again...

Choma sighs. (hehe cool, the slashme command works here like it does in server)

Anyone else get "tech support" like that? [PUKE]

on a slightly less depressing note:

Using Bing image search i got this:
