No issues in GA with Charter.
Do you uptalk? Is every sentence a question?
I doubt they are “blocking” anyone intentionally.
My guess is that somewhere a server is re-propagating. Charter doesn’t care about FR. Charter, unfortunately, doesn’t care about anyone.
I doubt that Spectrum is explicitly blocking your access to FR, at least not yet. Using a VPN at all times is good internet “hygiene”, but be careful about free VPNs. They are worse than your ISP in terms of violating your privacy. Use a good paid service like PIA or NordVPN.
Reboot. That’s what the nerds always tell me, right after the question, “What did you do?”
Could be worse. Could be uptalk with a glottal fry.

Reboot and select the SECURE button
Thanks!! I’ve been on FR for over 21 years, and never saw the Not Secure term until recently. I figured it was caused by one of Safari’s updates.
Im using charter/spectrum here in Simpsonville, SC. No problems at all with FR.
Sure thing. The “not secure” message is a newish feature that most browsers have adopted since most websites nowadays are secure (i.e. they have an https URL) and info security is more of a thing. If you happen to visit a non-secure http website the browser will notice it and let you know.
Charlotte Spectrum here also. Everything seems to be
