My first thought was that it's my ISP to blame, but none of these problems happen when I plug my ethernet cable directly to my laptop.
1) Some URLs don't work, especially many CDN GET requests for binary files (videos, images) fail.
For example:
http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2014/10/16/business/16ebay-web1/16ebay-web1-thumbStandard.jpgWhen I try to open this URL nothing happens, I get No Data Received page in Chrome.
I dig into it, I am able to make a connection with telnet, but when I make a GET request nothing happens, I don't receive a single byte on my telnet client neither a timeout error.
2) I was updating my old MacBook to Yosemite, it was saying the download takes more than 9 hours! I restarted the computer, paused and restarted the download, but nothing helped till I plugged in the ethernet cable directly to the laptop and then wow it downloaded the whole thing in less than 10 minutes.
I was happy with Almond, but these problems are very annoying. I appreciate any help.
