news.google.com (and others)?

This has been going on for days.

We couldn't get thru to news.google.com but most everything else
works. Once in a while it works.

Connection is through towerstream.com. Traceroute usually seems to go
through, sometimes dies somewhere out there past their network
(72.14...? maybe abovenet?), no consistent result.

Tried downforeveryoneorjustme.com, it says it's up.

Called towerstream support, they couldn't get thru either.

WAIT!

The support guy had a tablet on Verizon 4G, he couldn't get thru to
news.google.com using that either.

He also said he couldn't get thru to google street maps, but google
mail was ok (I can reload gplus.google.com no problem.)

My iphone via AT&T has no problem, loads news.google.com immediately.

Anyone else seeing this?

I'm in Boston, Towerstream support is in Providence, RI.

I'm thinking some sort of localized problem but trouble thru
towerstream and verizon?

It was passed to the engineer on duty at towerstream who will look
into it and speak to google if necessary, not clear it's their problem
though, not if Verizon is actually also having the same problem.

72.14.? some of that is google network space:
NET-72-14-192-0-1 - for instance

Tried downforeveryoneorjustme.com, it says it's up.

;; ANSWER SECTION:
www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com. 1568 IN CNAME ghs.google.com.

really: "Down for google or just me" would be a better name :frowning:

what sort of source address are you using?
perhaps also ipv4 vs ipv6? (the lte devices will default, I believe, to v6)

Connecting to news.google.com|2607:f8b0:4003:c02::8b|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK

from some network in the interwebs... so v6 to this works (v4 works as
well, based on telnet responses)
