AOL dial-up was faster

Are we back in the stone age? Come-on eBay, you have money to add servers.

Details?

eBay can have the fastest servers available, but they don't connect directly to you.  There are a whole lot of other connections that all have to work properly to keep the speed up.  This afternoon, our internet just went -poof-  ...somewhere between us and the ISP there was a piece of equipment that died.  We have similar issues with electricity after heavy storms -- odds are good if the storm is a beaut, the lights are out.

So, now, about those details....

     You didn't provide a lot of details regarding the problem and/or how you figured out it was eBay's problem. Are you using a desktop or laptop? Are you using a cellphone or other mobile device? Are you using from your home, internet cafe, mobile roaming device................

Are you using an ad blocker? Disabling that greatly sped the site up for me. Their servers seem fine...
