I'm from South Africa. I'm not sure if they cache Google+ here (I know they cache YouTube) or use a CDN, but I've found Google+ to do exactly this. It's slow, and sometimes stuff just doesn't load (especially images).
It's strange, because Google+ is the first social network I've seen that actually promotes itself on my campus (large installs with lifesize Angry Birds).
- Hov 14y agoI'm in South Africa too and see the same thing. Facebook loads almost instantaneously even when I'm on a crappy connection.
- richardw 14y agoAlso from SA, and while Plus is fine for me, Youtube has become unusable. For years it was perfect but now I rarely get through a five minute movie without it going belly up. Vimeo and others, no problem whatsoever.
- antihero 14y agoTo be honest I often can't load a YouTube video on a "50Mbit" connection here in the UK. Because Virgin Media don't give a crap about capacity.
- JonnieCache 14y agoJust out of interest, what is the life size of an angry bird?
- windsurfer 14y agoI would assume roughly the same size as a pig.
