Geth Light Mode Currently Dead & Byzantium Sync Issues

[DroidR17A]

I thought it might just be me, but Geth and Ethereum Wallet have not been able to synch for the last two days in "light" mode, but looking on Gitter, it seems like others are experiencing the same problem. I'm now trying to synch in "fast" mode, but it's painfully slow (will take a week at the rate it's going). Anyone on here running into this issue, and if so, have you found a solution/workaround?
