No big issues here in Spain, sometimes it take a bit more to load a page than usual, but similar to other sites. But what I have noticed when using Internet Explorer, either IE8 or IE9, in different computers and different ISP, is that if you open several pages at time in different tabs of the browser, sometimes RCU hang and don't open any page, like server is down. At same time and same computer, opening same pages with Chrome, all pages open normally, while IE8 /IE9 keep telling "server not responding".

It seems that there is a incompatibility of RCU with IE browser. Not sure if this is what you are experiencing, you may try with chrome.
