XFINITY BLOCKING CUSTOMER ACCESS TO EPOCH TIMES WEB SITE

Instapundit ^ | 12-17-2021 | Mark Tapscott

[Brookhaven]

The Epoch Times techies are telling the newsroom that Xfinity is blocking customers from opening the news web site, as well as the backend editing functions. Any Instapundit readers encountering this problem? If you are, please call Xfinity and RAISE HOLY HELL!

Update (from Steve): For what it’s worth, I’m on Xfinity and can’t get Epoch Times to load. But it loads just fine on cellular when I turn my phone’s wifi off.

We are on Spectrum, not Comcast.

VPN time.

BTW - you guys want theepochtimes.com

It wouldn’t load here in Maryland. It loaded on my phone when I turned Xfinity WiFi off.

[EternalHope]

I’m on Xfinity, in Washington state.

It will not load for me.

The “Connection timed out”....

[frogjerk]

Get a VPN

[metmom]

We can’t get it to load.

I wouldn’t load using the Denver vpn server but worked fine with the Chicago server.

The site works just peachy for me. Maybe it’s a referral to the site that’s blocked. Try going there directly:

Xfinity internet customer. Not loading here in Florida.

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

I wonder when they will start doing this to all alternate conservative sites like Frankspeech Gettr and others.

[Steve_Seattle]

I just tried to access the subscription page and the site itself; neither could be accessed.

Not working for me in CA on Comcast business.
But works when I switch to a VPN.

Looks like a routing error. Not a DNS error.
Call comcast tech support. Assume it isn’t a grand conspiracy.

[Kinzua]

Won’t load via Xfinity, switched to Verizon and it loaded fine.

[Steve_Seattle]

"I’m on Xfinity, in Washington state. It will not load for me. The “Connection timed out”...."

Ditto on all three points.

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

Yeah I can pull it up on my phone with AT&T and on Comcast using the TOR browser. Very interesting. It looks to me like a specific Xfinity/Comcast block.

[Malsua]

Xfinity internet customer. Not loading here in Florida.

Ditto on both. Won't load.

Will load when I start my VPN.

Wife is in Naples, Florida at our home there.

She confirms that TheEpochTimes.com works on Verizon but does not work or load on Xfinity. She says “it looks weird” when she tries it on Xfinity.
