It is not a regional problem.  It is AT&T and those ISP's that use AT&T as their transport (Mediacom, for example) that is the problem.  You need to complain to your ISP about this.

Here is one more test.  There is no WEB page at this IP address, but it is an active server and it is in the same Class C our WEB server is in.

Ping 70.85.193.17

I am will to bet, those of you who cannot reach our WEB and Wiki pages (70.85.193.18) can ping the above address.

Just FYI Skuzzy.  I am having the same problems described here from my AT&T phone.  Maybe you can duplicate the problem that way..

I have now, after 3 hours on the phone with the enemy, been escalated for the third time in their words to the next higher group. My computer has been raped by them.  After the first tow hours I was escalated to a group that wanted to start over again.  I said no we are not doing that again.  Then they tried it.  Internet call by the way from some where.  They said at last we think we have a problem but I must wait for the next group to call.  This sucks big time.

This may have saved the day.  I told the last bellsouth tech support that it was not working on the phones as well. That got their attention.

  Is AT&T having a router problem, or are they blocking access to the web pages?  As an I.T. person, I am more than a little curious.

The game still runs fine and so does the forum but the home HTC web page is down to At&T customers both through modems and cell phones

Is the AH front page being blocked by ATT for violent content by mistake or due to a customer complaint against the content?

This is where ATT blocks the AH front page address out of california:  dist1-vlan62.snfcca.sbcglobal.net [206.13.3.129]

When I ping 70.85.193.17 the path is not blocked from: dist1-vlan62

No because they have no control over the route your computer takes to get to their servers. It's like you driving from New York city to LA. Your asking LA to fix the all the bridges that are out between New York and LA.

The best they can do is put in a ticket (I think Skuzzy said earlier in the thread that he had) and then it is up to AT&T to find and fix the issue.

If YOU want to fix it yourself, I think there is a way to make a proxy setup where you can reroute your path away from the AT&T network. I'm not a hacker so I'm not real sure about it though.
