| [CenturyTel] Lost access to newsgroups - just me? Last night I lost all access to NNTP and HTTP traffic for newsgroup related sites. I subscribe to 2 providers, neither will connect. Nor can I connect to most HTTP sites that are newsgroup related: Easynews.com, usenetserver.com, usenetserver.com all time out. All other sites are good. Coincidence? I don't think so. CL tech support is lost, as would be expected. Anybody else seeing this? |

Dublin, OH | Not sure what you have going on but I'm currently not having any issue connecting to Easynews. Hope it stays that way! |

Still ok here.
I'd think CL would have to update their terms of service agreement prior to cutting off access to newsgroups.
Have either of you guys called CL about the issue your seeing? |

To close the loop on this, after 4 days of outage, NNTP and HTTP access has been restored. Perhaps a result of my numerous calls to CL tech support? So for now, its back. |

@embarqhsd.net | I just lost the ability to connect to seedunlimited.com on CenturyLink. I know the site is up because I'm hitting it on my work's cable connection, anyone else seeing this? They going to start blocking sites now? |
|
| It loads okay here, just slowly since I'm unfortunately a CL customer. If they were to start blocking specific sites I'm sure they would run afoul of quite a few government regulations. |
