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.

During tonight's episode of House I noticed something peculiar in the Verizon Wireless' BlackBerry Storm commercial. Can you catch it too? (Assuming this entry's title didn't give it away already)
