Verizon Wireless has blocked 4chan

Has Verizon Wireless pulled an AT&T with their blocking of 4chan?

via status.4chan.org


Over the past 72 hours, we've been receiving reports from Verizon Wireless customers having difficulty accessing the image boards.

After investigating, we found that Verizon is dropping traffic to/from boards.4chan.org, only on port 80 (HTTP). No other subdomain/IP/port is affected, which leads us to believe this block is intentional.

A call was placed to their support staff last night, and we were told that the ticket would not be looked at until Monday at the earliest, and: "You'll need the customer to call to request it be unblocked..."

If you've been affected by this block, please contact Verizon Wireless customer support. The numbers we were given are: "Verizon Wireless NRB: (866) 298-5373" and "Verizon Wireless DSO: (800) 770-1179".

Note: Users with mobile browsers that proxy (BlackBerry, Opera) won't necessarily have issues accessing the boards.

/m/

For those of you who haven't been on 4chan's /m/ board for a while, let me recap:

- Nobody likes Gundam 00, but nobody can explain why
- Everybody is now an expert in what constitutes good and bad writing, despite their terrible ideas
- Any attempt at reason is met with an accusation of being a "[insert 00 character]fag"
- Nobody is satisfied with anything ever - even given a new UC production, they whined it was "too OYW-oriented" and said they wanted Gundam Unicorn
- Nearly every thread is a troll thread

I think I liked it better when I was banned.
