This has now happened at two separate locations and it's becoming a problem. I just moved to a new apartment and I don't have internet yet, so I'm relying on public wifi at places like McDonald's to get me through until I'm hooked up. But when I try to connect to Facebook or to expats.cz (the local English-speaking community site), neither will load. Every other site I've tried works just fine and the speed is great, but with these two sites, they say they're "loading" for ages. Expats never loads at all, and Facebook eventually loads a sort of bare-bones text-only site with no actual information on it. I've tried clicking links or going to specific profiles within Facebook, but it's all the same. If I open a new browser and try to load Facebook, the login page works fine, but once I enter my information and try to actually log in, it doesn't work.
This has happened twice, on two different days, in two different locations (once at a local cafe, once at McD's). In between these two occurrences, I visited my old apartment (my former flatmate still lives there) and used the wifi there, and both sites worked just fine.
Any idea what's going on here? I have some important things to do that require these sites, but I don't have the option right now to visit my old flat and free wifi seems to be my only choice. Why would this happen, and how can I get around it? I've tried doing a google search for this problem and I didn't find anything, so maybe it's something to do with my computer? I've tried Chrome, Firefox, and even Internet Explorer, all with the same lack of results.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Add Echo Bazaar to the list, presumably because it's connected to Facebook. It starts to load then gets stuck at "waiting for connect.facebook.net".
