Is this on wifi connection? If so, it may work ok over cellular connection.

If it works ok over cellular, but not over wifi, try setting the DNS servers for your wifi connection to point directly at your ISPs DNS servers, or someone elses, for example the google DNS servers at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 or use OpenDNS. Setting mine to my ISPs DNS servers fixed this for me.

Hope this helps.
