Ask HN: Did anyone else just experience a bump in request latency?

> Title says it all.

No, it doesn’t. I doubt something happened that caused the latency of every request (regardless of medium, so including server pings between every pair of machines on the internet, written requests to companies, etc) in the world to change (for example, did the speed of light change? Did the second get longer?), so it would help if you stated what kinds of requests you mean, and between what machines.
