since morning can't access CNN.com on AIS

[orchidlady]

As of this morning I can't connect to CNN.com on either my mobile (AIS) or notebook using fiber (AIS). Using  DTAC (with a limited service plan so not good alternate choice) I can connect with my mobile. I didn't update anything. I tried rebooting the router. What could be wrong?

On AIS Fibre 200/50 in Bangkok....no problem accessing CNN.com all day...or before today...or as I write this post.

I'm in Bangkok too. Have never had a problem before. I was on it four hours last night reading hurricane updates and then this morning keep getting error

This site can’t be reached

The connection was reset.

Try:

• Checking the connection
• Checking the proxy and the firewall
• Running Windows Network Diagnostics

ERR_CONNECTION_RESET

Funny you mentioned that, as I was having the same problem with True internet for a while. I could not load CNN unless I used VPN. The problem has gone away for me now and CNN loads, although very slowly.

Just watch Fox News, problem solved :-).

The OP is talking about reaching and "reading" the news on the CNN.com website; not video streaming of CNN from some video streaming service.  

 

Heck, I stream CNN.com just by going to youtube, doing a search for "CNN live stream" or some similar search words which in turns gives me several streams to watch live (or should I say delay by just a few seconds to a few minutes).  Of course ever few hours or days that live stream maybe disappear and you have to do another search to grab another live stream....easy and quick to do.  No VPN connection needed either.

 

And if a person is into FoxNews (a good source of Alternative Facts) you can do the same  on youtube by searching for a live stream.

Sorry, I was trying to help.

Since AIS offers CNN on their Playbox platinum package, for a hefty monthly sum,  the OP is depriving them of a hefty monthly income.

I think he wants to watch a news channel.

Well Fox News is a news channel.

CNN is "not" offered on the AIS Playbox Platinum Package, but FoxNews is.

I have the impression these news/talk channels take better care of the feeds they provide to youtube than they do with direct connections to their own sites.  If you have problems and contact them directly, you're likely to get "you're doing something wrong" or no reply at all.  Or maybe a reply a week later saying "what problem?"  If the feed to youtube is down it gets picked on social media and word spreads like wildfire that youtube (which is run by google) is having issues, and they are much more concerned about their reputation for online delivery than these stations are.

 

I try to catch Al Jazeera, and their live youtube feed is much much more reliable than the one from their own site.

It's good to access the website if you watch the live stream.   When CNN broadcasts  a story using anonymous "sources" later proven to be made up the retractions are buried on their web site.   Not trying to be snarky, this is fact.   No doubt Faux News does the same.

I'm on AIS Fiber (and Google DNS) in Bangkok and I cannot access www.cnn.com (or edition.cnn.com). I can ping it, tracert it, access it using a VPN, access it using 3BB, and DTAC. I've tried many other browsers and work-arounds.

 

Not sure what the issue is? 

 

I can stream CNN Live from the U.S. on YouTube.

 

I can run the Android CNN app using AIS Fiber (WiFi).

 

per this post 

 

 

disabling ipv6 (control panel, network & sharing, change adapter settings, untick IP V6, restart) resolves the issue for me.

Try disabling IPv6 on your network interface. I believe AIS has done something new with IPv6 and it causes this. I had a similar issue and disabled IPv6 on my Win10 PC and it resolved it.
