Google services very slow with VM, just me or is anyone else noticing this?

So for the past 2 days google and its services (search/gmail/photos/drive) have been so slow. Its so slow I don't get the predictive search in chrome anymore.

From the time of me pressing enter to the google page loading its a good 10 seconds.

I have tried changing my browser/DNS but nothing helps and I cant seem to find anyone else complaining about this.

I cant even tracert www.google.co.uk as it stops on the third hop:

"sgyl-core-2a-xe-322-0.network.virginmedia.net [62.253.0.69]"

After that its just request timed out.....

No issues here on VM but I have just noticed that google is responding back on a Virgin owned IP... that is, odd

Have VM started proxying google?

Im in Edinburgh btw and everything google is sooooo slow, 5-10 seconds to load.

I thought my gmail mail extension was slow but it must be the server query thats making it sluggish.

this is what my tracert looks like:
