There is a law that is going through the house (already passed in the house) and senate in the US. I don't know too much about it, but the idea is that owners of websites can pay to have preferential treatent given to packets transferred from their servers. As a result, if your ISP is running at maximum capacity, sites that do not pay this fee should load more slowly. Anyway, Google has refused to pay any fees for such services. I haven't kept up with this issue as much as I probably should, but it is called the "Net Neutrality" act or something like that. All I know is that if it passes, which it proably will because it is pro-huge corporation, you can probably expect google, and any non-corporate websites to load more slowly.
