Is the Windows Phone Marketplace acting up for you? Having trouble loading, just general slowness? You're not alone.
In an informal polling of our users and from comments, it seems like the Microsoft servers are having some lag issues. Some are reporting that it has been going on all day for them, others cannot connect at all (it's just slow for us, but we can still download). Maybe all of those official app downloads are taking their toll...
We haven't found a reason yet, nor of any ETA when it could be fixed. But we'll keep you posted.
Update: Seems to be worldwide and Zune (streaming, downloading) too: Germany, Italy Switerland, the US are all having issues. Developer/Senior Consultant at AgileThought, Bill Reiss thinks it may be a DDOS.
Zune.net, which is also having Marketplace issues, reports this ((Thanks, @rpmadelo):
"You won't be able to browse, stream, download, or buy things at the Zune marketplace or on Zune.net. We're working on the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience."
