Gulfstreamaviator, considering where you are based, i think that its more likely that you were affected by a broken cable off the coast of Egypt, for the last few days all internet traffic was routed through Asia and was bloody slow.
It was extremely frustrating as it coincidentally coincided with a Jeppesen FD for IPAD APP update that required a complete installation of all data. And it no internet access, it basically rendered the APP useless
Today it appears to be back to normal.
