Could Comcast be blocking a domain?

[2 Grey Star Level]

I help with theremedyproject.com which is a domain hosted on site5. When I try to access the site from home on my wireless network via Comcast as ISP, I get connection errors in mail and time outs in web browsers. If I turn off WIFI and rely on Verizon LTE, it connects quickly.

FWIW I am on an Apple Time Capsule for home networking and there are no content filters on it.

Answer #1

It is possible, yes. Can you run an MTR to the domain from Comcast, and another from Verizon (http://kb.site5.com/?s=MTR) and open a ticket with our support team? Just explain the issue and provide the MTR results, and we can take a closer look.

I also manage fullmoonlightingllc.com that is also hosted on Site5 and it WILL connect on Comcast. I just tested travispaulding.com that is on the same account as theremedyproject.com and it WILL NOT connect. It seems to be something connected to this server/account. mail.theremedyproject.com will not connect and mail will not pass through. I have google apps email tied to the travispaulding.com domain and that email DOES work.
