   Network problems are one of the reasons that I use Google instead of blank. I can tell immediately if there's a problem. If there's a problem loading I can just about guarantee that it's a network problem. I've never seen Google go down.

   Also Google is such a "clean" page that there's no delay in loading it compared to Yahoo and almost any other page.
