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.
(Excerpt) Read more at pjmedia.com ...
I suspect China is involved here, since The Epoch Times is a Falun Gong/anti-China publication.
Not loading here in CT either.
xfinity in California - won’t load for me either. Can’t get it on my phone either - not xfinity phone - haven’t tried turning wifi off.
Not loading for me in GA either
Western MA, can’t get it on Xfinity. Loads right up on my Verizon phone.
I can ping theepochtimes.com but cannot load the page. I’m not sure of my service provider, I’m currently on a public wifi channel, but I suspect it is Comcast.
Xfinity customer - loaded for me.
Meh, Google shadow-bans Free Republic. It used to come right up after freerep, but now you have to type the entire name in.
VPN would obviously get around their block.
Epochtimes is the only news I really trust. And I actually have a paid subscription to it as I want to support them because they appear to be honest journalist.
Bing still has it come up ;-)
Only Chinese language site available.
English language site unavailable. Ha Ha, suck it round eyes.

I use mediacom and can access the site.
here are some alternatives 20 best alternative dns servers
ymmv
If they’re blocking it via DNS, change your DNS. If they’re blocking the IP, that’s a problem.
Do we have the legit IP number(s) for “The EpochTimes.com”?? My DNS is saying it is “151.139.128.11”. Just switched DNS providers to “1.1.1.1”...no help so far. Using a VPN server in San Jose, CA does work.
I used Brave and TOR . I was able to get it to load.
