Such thing happened to me when I had a internet connection from my previous ISP. For me, the problem was that sometime, I could not open google and few other sites. Some sites opened normally where some does not. In the end, I found out that the problem was with my ISP.
I also didnt have the problem like that but if so I do not wonder because I think it is the time to give other SE to live. I like Google but he doesnt give a chance to other new created SEs.
well I think it should be temporarily occurred problem with your ISP, most of the time google site never face any problem like loading.
Must be ISP then. Not sure why I cant get onto Google for 5 minutes at a time sometimes but I have no problems with other sites.
I will tell you what the situation is - Some of the times when i open gmail it do not responds and 'Page Cannot Open" error comes in. This is something related to browser(i think).
This problem has never occurred.. Don't you think you have a problem with your internet connection..? I hope it won't happen to mine..
