Router
Modem (highly doubt)
TWC (highly doubt)

It is on every single device that is connected to wi-fi and I know for a fact it's not router issue because it happened suddenly out of nowhere

It doesn't appear to be anything related to IPv6, DNS, or browsers since your tracert pulls the right IP, but can't reach the site in a trace:

The end hop on my responds, while on yours it doesn't.

Have you tried connecting or tracing on a direct to modem connect, just to see if there is any difference? It probably won't make a difference, but I'm just curious...

rchandra posted : basically, you can't. You have to wait for them to bring it to your area (your CMTS). However, your software may still attempt to perform AAAA lookups, to which TWC will not be forthcoming. It's possible that's where your browser is timing out.

I also had trouble within the past few months accessing TWC's sites but basically no others'. A cable modem reboot fixed me right up, but I think you wrote you already tried that w/o much help.

my router does support ipv6 but how do I get TWC to provision my modem for ipv6? direct forums or call them?

rchandra posted : It will cause only a slight Mbits/s performance hit, but you might try downloading/installing/running the /drtcp app from DSLR, and set your MTU down in increments of say 20 octets. That would get around the MTU issue noted earlier in this thread.

Also I might note that stupidly, although claiming to participate in World IPv6 (Day|Launch), TWC's nameservers or firewalls have been programmed not to return anything at all (drop the packets or replies on the floor) for AAAA queries for certain names, including ones used to get (eventually) to PayXpress/MyServices. Your browser(s) may be timing out on receiveing responses to said queries. Most of them nicely try IPv6 first, although a fair number of them are smart about (quickly) falling back to IPv4.

DrDrew posted : Ok... that's to a working site. twcnyc.com gets redirected to www.timewarner.com/nynj but you can access the main page, it's the sub pages leading to other domains that have issues.

How about a trace directly to a non working site, like espngo or myservices.timewarnercable.com ?

Try using »www.timewarnercable.com/nynj/ or »myservices.timewarnercable.com see if that works. Btw what modem are you using? I know the arris tg852 has a firmware problem that would cause this issue on some secured websites. It has something to do with the mtu size.

First one works but that's about it no other site works also I am using the Motorola wideband modem the one that is locked out from accessing the menu

Reboot your modem that will usualy fix it. Not sure why

See what is weaird it's been happening for more then 2 months now , I did many reebots and so on. I am clueless right here what is going on! -_-

Google Chrome could not load the webpage because myservices.timewarnercable.com took too long to respond. The website may be down, or you may be experiencing issues with your Internet connection.

but twcnyc.com works just fine (on LTE , every part of the site works)

It is also on my phone on wifi , other 2 laptops and so on.. please note that I had the dns changed but reverted to time warner dns.. so what can be the issue?
