The same thing happened, but Mozilla must have tinkered with it and it righted itself after they did the update prior to this one. I'm hoping that will be the case now too.
I don't think it is my service provider. I have a cable modem from Time Warner and it does pretty well. Let us know how Chrome does overall for you and if Mozilla doesn't get better, it might be a viable alternative. Thanks.
I'm a night person so I've noticed this happens every day around 4 a.m.... somewhere between 4 and 4:30 EST. Usually lasts for 15 minutes but sometimes up to a half hour. It's unique to DU so it's not your service provider. It's probably DU's hosting service provider doing some kind of regular maintenance. Whenever 4 am rolls around I just do something else for about a half hour.
14. What are you doing up at 4 a.m.? Just wondering...
I am also often up at 4 a.m. and having a helluva time sleeping the whole night through. I seem to have these sleep episodes 8:30 pm to 1:30 and then 4:30 to 6:30 am. I have reading material but I am just wondering what happened to a full night's sleep...
I've always just functioned better at night anyway. The biggest thing I hated about working during the day was having to wake up in the morning. It never matters how much sleep I get it is an absolute struggle for me to wake up in the morning. I never require a lot of sleep or have sleep issues, I just need to do my sleeping at a time that my body/mind is most comfy.
11. Usually, ads are farmed off to some other provider.
All DU has to do is embed the HTML pointing to them at the ad provider.
My bet is that we're seeing some midnight maintenance - database backups or optimization, maybe one of the web servers are being worked on, that sort of thing. Lots of web providers do this. Nothing to worry about.
