A good percent of ViaSat's income is from Uncle Sam; as such, ViaSat will offer no resistance to their demands. ViaSat understands "resistance is futile."
ViaSat, from previous discussions, apparently reconfigured their DNS servers...and if you don't know, when users access an URL, recording the activities at DNS servers provides a text log of your activities.
Now, here's the interesting thing about this site:
Exede-5; Riverside Gateway WB-1:163
>nslookup www.quadratec.com
Name: www.quadratec.com
Address: 216.64.74.240
>nslookup 216.64.74.240
*** UnKnown can't find 216.64.74.240: Non-existent domain
Now, compare this to DSLs
>nslookup dslreports.com
Name: dslreports.com
Address: 209.123.109.175
>nslookup 209.123.109.175
Name: www.dslreports.com
Address: 209.123.109.175
Hence, when using the "216.64.74.240" URL, this shoots craps on WaterFox, Chrome, IE, and even Opera with Turbo. But, with DSLs numerical IP of 209.123.109.175, these browsers pull up DSL ....so, this issue points to a DNS issue in some manner. Or their server in Phoenix is not sending the full page, so WaterFox is fetching the missing elements via numerical IP, which is not accepted.
Testing two browsers again: same results
Waterfox - Loads, then blinks out (connection was reset)
IE - At first, I got this message again,
This page can't be displayed
then reloaded it, and it works fine
