Just got a malware warning in Tallahassee.

I am having probs - in St Pete

And ONLY with F.R.

[Reagan69]

I had problems with the Brighthouse connection, again, ONLY with accessing F.R.

I switched to my Verizon internet connection on my phone, no problem.

I’m in Ohio. Posted a thread at 11:40am and couldn’t get back to FR until a few minutes ago.

Ten minutes before I started this thread I had a family member in Omaha try and he got through fine. He gave me the IP address to trace.

I could NOT access Freerepublic, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Wall Street Journal, World Net Daily. But had no problem with NYT, Moveon, DU. Go figure

I'm in Tampa and I've been on and off since 7:30am, no problems at all.

I got a malware message on a post I opened here. That may be why it is being blocked for you.

No problemo here in N.Central Fla.

I use a satellite connection,[Wildblue}

Yes, problems in the midwest last night and today.
All internet out or crawling.

Sorry to post so late.

There was a major outage in Atlanta with XO communication and CBeyond and whoever their tier one access come from. We saw it first with XO and then with Cbeyond. Comcast never had trouble all day but the others did starting at 10:45 AM. It lasted for much of the day and all the help desk phones were full.
