Very laid back Ben!
Well said, Tony.
"punched through a cable!"
haha, that was the excuse for an internet blackout i experienced in myanmar...
the locals referred to this as a "whale knocking the cable"
thanks greg, bernie and design for the posts, they were all helpful!
I'm prett sure it's the firewall bottleneck. I made a thread about this a couple of weeks ago. Until then my 2mbit ADSL connection was running smooth in regards to websites, however since about 3 weeks ago international sites have been incredibly slow to load (or won't load at all) and downloads often fail. One thing to note is that I can still reach my maximum 220kbs when downloading torrents. So this suggests it's not my connection but rather a bottleneck in Beijing. VERY frustrating, especially for a business. Some people have suggested this slow down is an intentional response to a certain anniversary a month ago.
I've had the 2mbit 108rmb/month China telecom DSL plan for two weeks, and websites are rarely slow besides absolute peak times.
However, the last few days my websites are loading really slow all the time, even at 3am!
Strangely, my torrents can download at full speed (up to 200kb/s).
Any ideas as to what is wrong? Is this happening to anybody else right now? It appears to mainly affect international sites. Happens on both my laptops and it both IE and Mozilla.
Cheers.

Have been to Jia's Jia's place about two dozen times. Love the pizzas, especially the blue cheese one. The staff have always been nice and attentive. The yoghurt with honey is a must! A very quaint place. Perfect to get away from the bustle of Wenhua Xiang and Wenlin
Jie. I often take visiting family and friends here. It's also a good place to practice your Mandarin.
I spent three nights at Chongzijia last month.
The rooms are new, clean and full of natural light. The beds are really comfortable! The bathroom was also fine and had all the amenities.
Good and quiet location hidden off a sidestreet (not too difficult to find). Only about two minutes walk to the main streets.
Michele and Libby were fantastic hosts. Libby's mother is a great cook and it was also a pleasant surprise to be treated to some real Italian cuisine.
