Google Docs, Gmail hit by service disruption; company says it's investigating

Summary: UPDATED 3. The search giant said it was "investigating reports" of issues with three of its main cloud-based productivity apps, following reports of sluggish or downed service.

Google is currently investigating reports that a number of its business-related services are suffering downtime.

According to the company's status pages, two Google Apps services — Gmail, and Google Docs (including Google Presentations) — were experiencing a "service disruption" as of 10:25 am on the east U.S coast. An update more than an hour later confirmed that the delivery of some messages may be "delayed," while "attachments may fail to download."

According to Google, email delays are affecting less than half of all Gmail users. But Google noted that the remaining Gmail issues are only affecting an estimate 0.024 percent of the service's entire global user base.

Ahhhhh...so that was it. My Gmail loaded as slow as cold fudge uphill around 9am local time.

True just gave me free a new "Billion" router because I was having dropouts and I was blaming the new router.

Hasty heart.
