Title: This site won't load under one internet provider, but rather another
Post by: VANGUARD on February 21, 2017, 05:16:05 PM

I don't understand this one at all. After some testing, it seems as though under my internet provider, I can't access this site unless I am using my "cell phone" Internet provider.

I can understand web browsers, with security or something, but this is just a different internet provider. Any ideas as to what is going on?

And just so you know, I switched to the cell phone provider, was able to get in here, do stuff, then switched. It then failed to load anything. I then switched back and was able to browse again. so this isn't a timing issue. It has to be something to do with the provider.

All I can suggest is make sure you are logged out on the phone, delete cookies, clear cache, reboot your router, etc... If that doesn't work, contact your service provider.

I have and they said to contact you. Its the "contact somsone else" game. I know youre not playing that game with me. I suspect its my provider, but they claim its not on their end.

I wish I had a better answer for you, but I just don't know.

I think it's Frontier, at least my settings. I tried this on my mothers who also has frontier and I think it worked.

As long as I can access this, that's all that matters. I think the Linux forum I go to also gave up. I had several replies (mostly from one) per day. After finishing up what he had me do, it's been a very quiet two days.

Bizarre things seem to happen to me and I have no idea how to figure it out.

I can log in here now. I did nothing, so I don't know what solved this, if anything.
