Sounds to me like ISP problems.
I live in a "less developed" part of the world -- not to say that the women aren't developed, I mean technology wise -- and the ISPs at times can be absolute crap. I get the timed out message fairly often for that reason. If you look at your internet connection, you may see that the server is doing nothing, no bytes being received or sent. Now in the west, you can just log off and log on again and probably connect with a different mainframe computer. But in my part of the world, the ISP may only have one or two mainframes. It can be especially annoying during the heavy traffic times of the day and on weekends, when all the kids are out of school and playing Ragnarok or whatever it is they play.
