Youtube is fine, but Giant Bomb loads super slow. Is the ISP throttling this site for some reason?

I have Comcast, for better or worse, and no issues for me.

Do you have an ad-blocker on? Have you tried a different browser?

The best thing I did with Comcast was return the terrible rented router and buy my own equipment (an Archer A7 router + Arris SB6183 modem, which pay for themselves after a year) I have the cheapest internet plan and reliability was the biggest concern. I rarely get dropouts now.

There was a time when I got slow speeds except when I was on VPN. Suggesting some friction between Comcast IPs and the CDN used by GB.

However this has fixed itself for me.

Anyway if you have access to a VPN maybe give that a try (I'm in CA and got better speeds when I specified servers in TX)
