Hi Christopher,

thanks for your answer. I'm in Santander, Spain right now using my
German Telekom mobile connection on 5G which is quite fast. I also
noticed this when I was in Berlin, Germany. It happened yesterday when I
sent the email at 07 Jul 2026 22:25:41.

I don't have the URLs anymore, but I will record them the next time it
happens.

Thanks for your help!
