I'm having significant issues as well -- it happened quite suddenly an hour ago (9:50 Pacific Time, northern California). Thought it was a local issue at first and spent the last hour debugging my network. I think my apartment is on Comcast, although I'm not 100% certain (one of my roommates is in charge of it). Spamming `date` at an affected SSH connection suggests it's entirely a download problem, since all of the timestamps are very close, but they're received multiple seconds apart. Like some other commenters here, my mobile connectivity is just fine. EDIT: Certain sites (including Hacker News) are now qualitatively more accessible, and I'm now hitting expected speeds at http://testmy.net/download http://testmy.net/download. SSH to my DigitalOcean is also better. Here's hoping everything else smoothes out soon!
