[Fixed] Crcket Broadband ip Address Blocks Secure Websites

I have been using cricket broadband for a few months now and suddenly within the last few weeks I can't log onto any secure websites namely my bank and eBay. I re-installed windows 3 times (thinking it was a virus or my computer acting up) and nothing helped. I installed software after software to no avail. You could image my frustration and the days & weeks I spent trying to figure this out! I sell on eBay and and do a lot of online banking so I was out of my mind frustrated!! After all that, my wife found some information online that talked about certain broadband modems preventing users from signing into secure websites. I finally called cricket and confirmed she was right! The tech guy at cricket told me that certain websites like banks and eBay block ip addresses that start with the number 10>>>>Like crickets do! He really didn't know the reason why; with no apologies. He simply said "You're not going to like what I'm going to say." Big help right?? He gave me no solution. So last month was my final payment to cricket.
I started using cricket because we lived so far back off of the road in the country Time Warner wouldn't install cable or internet at our house. I moved 9 days ago...THANK GOD!! Now we can get Time Warner; even though it is expensive. It will be like heaven compared to cricket!! I truly believe cricket targets people who have financially been down on thier luck and treats them like step children. In my opinion, you are better off staying away from cricket entirely.

Re: [Fixed] Crcket Broadband ip Address Blocks Secure Websites

1. Your thread is mislabeled. Cricket is a Mobile not a Fixed connection.

2. Secure sites do not block private IP addresses such as those like 10.x.x.x

3. Make up your mind. Is it the modem that is blocking it or the IP address.

Posting a rant without looking for help first is not exactly a useful post.
