Hi, I this might be the correct place to post this.

I am having connection issues to some Blizzard sites, on these very forums, navigating from forum to forum loads instantly but but trying to view a thread takes about 1-2 minutes to load. Every other website (not related to blizzard) loads instantly. I have tested my network connection using http://www.speedtest.net/ and it seems to be fine. I cannot access the World of Warcraft forums or WoW main site what so ever, it tries to load it for 5 minutes and then gives me a "connection has timed out error". I can get on WCIII battlenet, my Battlenet account but cant get on any server on WoW. I am on a mac and using firefox.

Attempted fixes
Restarting computer and modem/router.


I dont know if this will help but I did a traceroute on us.logon.battlenet and got

Q u o t e:

Thank you for the reports.

There are a couple of threads on Verizon's forums and it looks like some other sites are affected as well.

Their FIOS forums:

There DSL and Dial Up Forums:

Some people have reported issues with other websites as well such as these:
http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/
http://www.newegg.com/

You are welcome.

We have been in contact with the appropriate people but have no ETA for when the issues will be resolved.

Hopefully soon but some reports show the issue nearing the 24 hour mark. Others have said some of the sites are back for them but not others.
