cookj5 Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 My wife and I have both experienced difficulty connecting to Goggle and related websites at various times during the day or evening. For example I couldn’t connect around 11:30 pm last night and she couldn’t between 7-10am this morning. At other times of the day, everything works fine. What is particularly odd is that we can connect with some sites just fine but not others. No problem with Washington Post or NY Times, but nada with Google. Anyone else having this problem or knows what’s going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookj5 Posted March 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 My condo complex is considering having Telmex install fiber optic to all units. Is this likely to solve the problem? I still don’t understand why some websites are affected and not others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngusMactavish Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 The speed of your internet will not affect the problem, it is a server situation. I use a VPN to take Telmex out of my connectivity as a work-around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same problem happens with or without the VPN turned on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngusMactavish Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 It has with mine. Try another VPN if you can but speeding your connection won't. Another that you can try is changing your DNS address. That will help if that server is the bottleneck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When this fails, we simply unplug our modem, wait about 20 second, plug it back in and, the sites that previously would not load...load.
