I think you're right; it's pretty clear that's the case. And it's not
that connectivity, <span style="font-style: italic;">per se</span>, is
blocked. Rather, the "web site" is serving up a page with an "ACCESS
DENIED" error message, stating "You do not have permission to access the
requested URL on this server." <br>
<br>
I do have a paid VPN service available, and access to macys.com works
just fine. So Macy's web site service provider has some sort of beef
with connections from RCN/Astound. <br>

<div dir="ltr">There's a good chance those websites are blocking your

hotspot off your phone (thus using a different ISP effectively) or using
a paid VPN that isnt being blocked by that website's provider. </div>
