Chinese interference blamed for Gmail slowdown in China
According to tests done by www.greatfirewall.biz, the download speed
of Gmail in China has plummeted to an average of 34 kbps. That's 45
times slower than QQ's speed of 1514 kbps. Or if you'd like your
fractions another way, Gmail is now operating at 2.2% the speed of QQ.
For most of you, this will just be confirming what we've all been
experiencing for weeks now.
