[DSL] Trouble connecting to certain sites

Hey - anyone else having issues connecting to cbc.ca?
I can get to the site via Google and clicking the link, but I can't get to it by typing the address in my browser.
It's odd.. happens across several devices, including my mobile, whether on my home wifi or on Rogers LTE/3G (I'm in Toronto).
Every other site works.. though I was also unable to log into this site with my username.. just sat there too.

No other issues with connectivity at all.. this is so weird.
It's been like this a couple days...

Though I was losing it.. so I asked someone else with another mobile device to try the site (Bell LTE) and it worked. Reset my devices and still no luck. What could it be? Seems like DNS, but I tried looking up the IP and directly connecting to that via the browser.. nothing!

I can get to cbc.ca by typing it directly into Google Chrome on my PC behind a router using TSI's DNS. Their DNSs can resolve cbc.ca with no problems.

C:\>nslookup cbc.ca 206.248.154.22
Server:  dns.pppoe.ca
Address:  206.248.154.22

C:\>nslookup cbc.ca 206.248.154.170
Server:  dns2.pppoe.ca
Address:  206.248.154.170

Try type www.cbc.ca and not cbc.ca.

Don't know why but that works for me.

Typing either cbc.ca or www.cbc.ca into any browser works. cbc.ca redirects to www.cbc.ca anyway.
C:\>nslookup www.cbc.ca 206.248.154.22
Server:  dns.pppoe.ca
Address:  206.248.154.22

Actually it doesn't work for me as well. That is why I mentioned it. If I type cbc.ca into firefox it doesn't work. If I type www.cbc.ca it works.

I suspect the op is having the same issue.

I even get different results if I run nslookup cbc.ca vs nslookup www.cbc.ca.

Yup that works.strange though. Used to work without the www. Something must have changed in their dns records? Odd.
