Craigslist sloooow. Everything else FAST.

When using my new MiFi everything loads fast: YouTube, Netflix, online banking, etc. Craigslist, however, is crazy slow. So slow as to be unusable. But when connected to other Internet like at the library, CL is fast like normal. I've tried using different browsers, and clearing cache. Am going to change the IP address, but that will have to wait another time until I have more time. Have to run. I'm all ears if anyone has an idea. I miss CL; we're pretty good buds.

Geolocation of your current IP?

Use a VPN?

The same is true for me. Originally I could not watch Amazon Prime video. I had my 6620 reflashed yesterday and Amazon is good but still have the issue with Craigslist. One way to get around this is to install the Opera browser and activate the built in VPN.

Craigslist has been acting weird for me for the last couple of weeks. Have you noticed the problem going back further than that?

CL works fine on my laptop.

Very strange!! Today it's work fine.

Yes, the weirdness I was seeing is gone this morning. All my CL rss feeds are updating again.

CL is sometimes the victim of a DDoS attack. It could be that simple.

When I was having problems, I started up Opera with VPN enabled and Craigslist loaded fine. I also connected using my 4620 which is 3G and that also was okay.

Could be a routing issue that only affected some of their peers.

Update: I was able to get into 4G coverage again and Craigslist worked fine. Fast as anything. I have no idea why it had trouble, but whatever- one of those mysteries of life.
