Seems like I can barely shop with these guys anymore. Their website is
so difficult to reach and times out so often I can't even search for a
product or place an order.
Worked just fine here in Iowa using Firefox 3.0.11 and after upgrading
Firefox to 3.5.
If this is the only site you are having problem with you might want to do a
couple of tracert commands of
www.newegg.com and see if there is a common
point where the tracert fails or consistently shows bad response times. It
is possible that you have a link somewhere between you and them that is
acting up. Here is a copy of one I just ran from my computer.

In my case my first link is my local router which is configured not to
respond to ping or tracert requests. The rest are all looking pretty much
normal for this time of day.
