One possibility that comes to mind is that DNS resolution is failing
intermittently, which could cause a similar type of behavior. When web
pages fail in this way, it would be good to know whether DNS requests
are being handled correctly at that time. If you are using your ISPs DNS
servers, you might consider switching to OpenDNS, which is free and
typically much more reliable than ISP offerings:
