I Cannot Access My Blog, Yet I Can Access Other WordPress Blogs…
-
Hello,
I keep getting this exact error every time I try to get onto my WordPress blog from anywhere on the Internet, including my Facebook Page and Google:
The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.What is causing this? I recently added some new content to my blog, and clearly it still functions–and even though I added a SoundCloud function via a text widget and a new post, it was functioning fine for two days AFTER I did that, before it started this. Can someone please help me fix this? It’s never done this till now.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

My Firefox is up to date and has NEVER had this problem before.
…I am with TalkTalk though, yes. …But why would this happen all of a sudden now? It’s never happened before…

Oh yes this has happened others before with Talk Talk and other British ISPs , just not to you. For background on the issue, please see:

I’m not holding my breath because the past behavior of those ISPs was so bizarre it was beyond belief. That said, I do have all fingers and toes crossed for your folks.

The past behavior of those ISPs was so bizarre it was beyond belief? What ISPs? The ones which were blocked and taken down?
…But I haven’t done any such heinous thing on my blog. I don’t understand why I would be affected, and henceforth, now I’ve found out ALL the blogs on WordPress that I’m following, with the exception of the spare few, has the same ‘connection reset’ issue.

No blogg platform anywhere on this planet can be 100% clear of scammers and spammers and Terms of Service violators, just as no country can be criminal free. Any ISP that overreacts to the discovery of a few despicableblogs that are in violation of Terms of Service by blocking all the sites of the same web host is so bizarre and idiotic I would never give them a penny of my money.

Well this is all news to me… Never had this problem before, and now it suddenly is one…. Wonderful. :/
