I've noticed over the past few weeks sometimes Wikipedia seems to take an awfully long time to load. Just now it took me 30 seconds to load the main page, but everything else on the internet loads really quickly.

I was just wondering if anyone else had noticed the same problem?

yeah seems like telecom is having a cache issue because i bet if you used a proxy to access wikipedia.org it will work.
