Google Plus – the bandwidth HOG

SO why does it take G+ so long to load (20 minutes and counting) ??? Once again we are down to (1) Fiber line or so says MIT (Magic Island Technologies) . Life sucks working in the Middle East especially with regards to internet access. Most users in the US and other places abroad take their high speed access for granted. We pay $65.00 a month here with no guarantee of up-time and lately its been down more than up. That’s partly the reason for the large load time of G+. However, it’s also appearing that Google has not load balanced their apps very well. Even though we have what amounts to Dial-Up access, I would think Google with their co-located servers all around the World could do better than this ?? I can access Facebook and Skype which can be heavy on servers at times and I can even access the back-end of my system here at Virtual Interactive Systems, to create this post with very little latency.  So why is Google Plus taking such a long time to load the Streaming portion for updates ?? I ran a TRACERT and we are connecting to the servers at Google, but it’s a SLOW PROCESS, and my bet is G+ is not properly load balanced or optimized to deal with the rest of the world yet ?

 

Ok, Google you can spend BILLIONS to  buy-up Motorola , but you can’t even get your own system to work properly on low bandwidth…. hows that working for ya ? Cause it’s not for me, so for now your Google -1  (MINUS one) to me!
