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)
