Or high packet loss.

Every once in a while, my router used to go crazy with seemingly packet loss (I think a memory issue).

Normal websites would become super slow for any pc or phone in the house.

But git… git would fail to clone anything not really small.

My fix was to unplug the modem and router and plug back in. :)

It took a long time to discover the router was reporting packet loss, and that the slowness the browsers were experiencing has to do with some retries, and that git just crapped out.

Eventually when git started misbehaving I restarted the router to fix.

And now I have a new router. :)
