I get the impression some ISP's are blocking access to iiNet. I don't
see how this could do anything other than hurt the end users, but that
seems to be the tactic the content owners have taken in the past so I
wouldn't be surprised.
It'll only get worse if the TPP goes through?
Can you do a traceroute to members.iinet.net.au? In
case DNS is blocked,
the IP address is 203.0.178.90. I've been on iiNet since they bought out
my previous ISP.
Doing a traceroute from my home, which is serviced by TekSavvy (in
Canada); my connection to members.iinet.net.au dies at a router owned
by Hurricane Electric, Inc. of California. Since it seems to bounce
through a few of their routers, I'm assuming that whoever Hurricane
Electric hands off the packets to kills it. (Based on my traceroute;
other results may vary.)
From a friend of mine on RoadRunner (I won't say
where, but in the USA
of course); their trace dies as it leaves the Cogent
Communications
network (since it bounces through a few of their servers before
dying).

Christian
