I’m having problems with several different, unrelated websites loading either slowly or not at all when using my home Wi-Fi and local ISP. Some sites load just fine. SDMB is one that doesn’t. Everything works fine if I tether through my iPhone. Restarted the router, ran local speed test, checked ISP’s status page. Can’t find a problem. Anyone else having trouble, or is it just me? ---

Switched DNS from local to 8.8.8.8. All is well. ---

Comcast had a lot of outage issues across multiple states this morning so that might have contributed to your woes. Edit: Hah, didn’t realize how far down I scrolled and that this was from several days ago. Never mind!
