I have sites on severs at two different data centers in two different parts of the country, and I know for a fact that often the slowness I get can sometimes be in either one of the data centers, and often from Comcast on my end. Oftentimes slowness problems can affect entire regions because the network itself can have problems that will manifest itself through a LOT of servers. For instance, a typical page request from a server for me will often make hops through 11 to 14 servers in order to complete. Any one of them CAN have a problem at any time.

Unfortunately, there is no real solution to the occasional slowdowns and outages.
