Are you on a shared host? And/or one that uses a proxy for outgoing requests? Sounds probably that someone on the same network is downloading stuff from Google and causing blocks. (as this doesnt sound like a Google Maps API error, which would be in the 600 range)
Otherwise I would try looking at the exact message returned (including headers) - as it might well give you some clues as to who exactly is generateing the error message (which might well rule out the above guess) .
