<p>Thank you all for your suggestions and advice.</p>
<p>I contacted Astound on Friday after we identified the "mass
outage."</p>
<p>I've been checking over the weekend and it must have been fixed
yesterday or today. Apparently, they acted on it!</p>

Indeed. My wife first detected the problem early last week. Now
it's gone. I figure somebody, somewhere, did their regular weekly
maintenance reboot of something-or-other, and that cleared
whatever the problem was.<br>

<p>Peter,</p>
<p>One thing you can try is the free version of the
windscribe VPN. <a

<p>This way you can change your IP address while still using
your home Internet service. See if you can reach what's
blocked at that time.</p>
<p><span style="background-color: #ffff00;">If you <strong>create
an account</strong> and confirm your email, you get up
to <strong>10 GB/month</strong> of data. </span></p>

I believe the issue is between Astound/RCN and Macys.com.
I will try to follow up with Astound.

I have an Asus RT-AX5400 router. When I access one specific website, I receive "Access Denied." If I use my cell phone for internet access instead of the Wi-Fi I am able to access the same website without any issues.
How do I find out where or how the router is blocking my access? Is it a different issue?
Thanks!
Peter
