This includes: google.com, gtalk, gmail and even the SVN services of googlecode. Despite the fact I live down the street (about a block) and everything Google works fine. This started around the time I returned from my last trip to the states, a bit before (11/11). Bah...plus I am currently getting a batch of slooow proxies, my personal proxy in the states is even worse, pretty much making it unusable :( Anyway, this appears to be a general trend; large gardens are created by selective blocking depending on the service provider and where that service is being provided.

For example, I have been noticing some type of adaptive filtering occuring...but a lot of this stuff will take more work to structure before it is posted. As such, I figured I would at least get this out... I have been sitting on parts of this post for sometime, really hoping to make it more extensive.
