This seems to be an event happening all over the country but at different times. The Southeast was plagued with it a couple weeks ago and we've seen it all over the place since. The Forum Boss has explored every avenue to correct it but he has determined it is a signal loss before it reaches our site.

It has been happening off and on for a couple of weeks. The issue is with gtt.net and it depends on your origin path. gtt.net is a transit network that is black holing traffic. It appears to be the nearest transit network to the website. It was down earlier for me as well from this computer but I could still get to it via the cell phone. My path is from a qwest network to a seattle network to gtt.net and then on to the website. Except when it fails, then it stops in gtt at a different router than the one used when it works. The cell phone path is different in that it travels from verizon through different intermediate hops. The presumption is that they have a trigger that is mistakenly thinking that various subnets are the source of DdoS attacks. Since ggt.net is not forthcoming we can only surmise that this is the problem they are having.
Oh, if you say so,OK.Im 72 now so no more room in brain for path hops etc.
Wallyworld’ wifi blocks all gun related websites. I tried once to get on another gun forum to check something and could not get onto that forum. So I did a bunch of random gun related websites and forums like this one. Wallyworld blocked every one. Switched off wifi and got into them all.
Wallyworld’s hypocrisy. They sell gun stuff, (At least for now.) but block online gun stuff.
As for the slow Internet, it is the result of all the state quarantines with people having a lot of nothing to do other then online shopping and all of anarchy and protest jamming up the data flow.
My phone slows to a crawl around 16:30 hrs (4:30 PM) every Mon.-Fri. because I have AT&T who uses Verison cell sites. When Verison customers start jamming up the data, AT&T customers are second place on the totem poll.
The Internet as was explained to me, is that when some one gos to a forum or website, data comes in packets. All the packets take different routs and sometimes do not arrive all at once, so ones computer or cell phone will have to wait until all the packets arrive. If a packet is missing, one may not be able to open the particular website or forum. Its like a puzzle and one or more pieces of the puzzle are missing so it is incomplete. It also depends on the rout the data has to take. A landline mite be the actual link for a PC, but that data mite either come in from landline trunks or satellite and in some cases it can come in from both. The Internet was started as a alternative form of communication for the U.S. military in the event of another World War, and the lines were spread out so multiple line could carry data even if other lines were severed. The only reason we all use the Internet so much these days, is because it is so much faster now do to the advancements in electronics. How many remember the days of dialup ? Now that was slow even when it was working 100%. Now a days, if everything is working nominal, it is near instantaneous.

I remember dialup quite well though now that I retired 6 months ago I am trying to forget. My second job as a software engineer was programming the serial chips that made those dialup connections work. In those days the low level protocols were both asynchronous and synchronous in nature and you had to configure the chips (called USART's) for the characteristics of the protocol you were using. Those chips then serialized the bits into a shift register and interrupted the processor to tell you that there was a byte of data (a character if you will) available. Back then, depending on the protocol a byte could be 6, 7 or 8 bits in length. We really thought we were rocking it when the shift registers would accept 4 bytes and you could configure to interrupt at various levels of buffer full conditions. Then came chips for Token Ring and Ethernet, DMA to transfer full frames into ring buffers, layered protocol stacks like SNA, IP, TCP (and many many others with some still in use and others long gone), optical routers that are able to clock bits at terabyte rates and we were really off to the races. Now it's wireless everywhere and even though the underlying principles and many of the protocols are the same, you are no longer bound to a wire or an optical link.
Looking back it is difficult to say whether the world is a better place as a result of these technology improvements. How many people would be lost in today's world without the aid of a search engine, a cell phone and a GPS? Is dead reckoning dead? I'm reminded of the movie Surrogates where no one ever had to leave their house. They remotely controlled surrogates that entered the world and performed what were human interactions on their behalf. What happened when the surrogate network was blown up. We didn't get to see the long term aftermath in the movie. Only the immediate aftershock. Something interesting to consider in the era of Coronavirus with so many people working from home.

My Primary care physicians office building (owned by the hospital group to which he affiliates) WiFi blocks all gun related sites and forums. Been doing that for years. Wait until the major carriers begin regulating the content you can see, oh wait, social media is already there.....SMH

if you are on a guest network that is blocking your desired destination at the firewall, I.E outbound traffic rule, start using a VPN app. there are a number of apps available for your phone, and home desktop. its possible for them to block the VPN as well, but it is much less likely.

Guys, there have been multiple threads on this subject. When you put a website address in your browser, the signal goes through many middlemen.
As noted above, everyone who has provided a trace to us is losing the path BEFORE they reach anything we pay for, control, or supervise.
Please, complain to your ISP, and hopefully they will pass the message on through to GTT.net which seems to be the source of most of the problem.

WHOA... Are you guys saying it works if you use a direct link?
I don't know WHY that would make a difference. But please TRY.
