What happens when the line that has been drawn moves past a site you DO approve of?

If true, it brings upon the first major strike in the net neutrality wars. And they picked a site that would probably fight back the hardest. Not smart in my opinion.

sysk · 07-27-2009, 12:07 AM

it's blocked here and I'm not with AT&T :/

EscortBiz · 07-27-2009, 12:10 AM

why cant i load the site from verizon ?

Libertine · 07-27-2009, 12:19 AM

Full story:

The original block was merely to stop a DDoS attack. It's quite possible that it happened automatically.

The block was lifted about an hour ago.

Now, 4chan is all but down because the entire internet is checking to see if it's really true - basically forming a natural DDoS attack.

CYF · 07-27-2009, 12:23 AM

I can't reach it from my Comcast cable, either.

Can't reach it from one of my servers either, times out on
15 208.175.175.22 (208.175.175.22) 47.827 ms 47.823 ms 47.625 ms

That ip is owned by Savvis, not ATT. Not sure what's going on.

CYF · 07-27-2009, 12:24 AM

Appears that ATT is in fact blocking 4chan:

Sunday, July 26, 2009

It's come to our attention that AT&T is filtering/blocking img.4chan.org (/b/ & /r9k/) for many of their customers. There is no remedy at this time.

If you've been affected, I would advise you call or write customer support and corporate immediately.

UPDATE: Some coverage on TechCrunch, Digg, reddit, and Google News. Also, note that AT&T has yet to contact us.

Angry Jew Cat - Banned for Life · 07-27-2009, 01:18 AM

If they'll goto war with the Scientologists, I'm sure they'll go at it with AT&T too

07-27-2009, 02:27 AM

4chan is a force to be reckoned with.

BradM · 07-27-2009, 03:45 PM

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air

In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'

I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suite case and send me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.

First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.

But wait I hear they're prissy, wine all that
Is Bel-Air the type of place they send this cool cat?
I don't think so
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air

Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said 'FRESH' and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say this cab is rare
But I thought 'Now forget it' - 'Yo homes to Bel Air'

I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To settle my throne as the Prince of Bel Air

selena · 07-27-2009, 07:30 PM

I'm on AT&T, and I got to /b/ without any problems.

CheeseFrog · 07-27-2009, 07:46 PM

I've checked about 7 or 8 different AT&T connections and they all can access 4chan. I vote hoax.

AT&T claimed it was to stop a DDoS on a AT&T customer from spreading to other customers, they lifted the block sometime lastnight.
