i bet your internet may be down in my entire lifetime i have never seen google down trying pinging any of google IP .. and see whats the response
I wouldn't go as far as saying that. It does not happen often, but some DCs have been known to be down in the past. FFMG
It happened to me last week.For the whole day. Not just google.com, but even gmail, orkut (just the login frame), and google/adsense. Someone suggested that mybe my PC was infected, or maybe the ISP provider had some problem, but it sure happened to me. It was fine the next day though..
Very true, but it did use to happen in the past, and it could still happen. I think it is possible in countries outside the EU/US. FFMG
in Accessing orkut and blogger.com sites because i felt the same problem 1 week nefore when it was donw for 1 hour approximate .. At that time google was working but the blogger and orkut were not working ......................
Google have that many servers, if one went down, you would just be directed to another that was running.
