I'm having a problem today with specific websites or even sub sites not being reachable.

 

I'm in contact with 2 degrees who have had me factory reset the 2 Degrees supplied Fritzbox 7530, but this hasn't solved the problem.

 

I can load the xero.com webpage but not the login.xero.com page. The TVNZ on-demand page loads but the video won't play. Prime video wont load.

 

This is on both wired and wireless devices. 

 

Pinging xero.com works, but login.xero.com (e11670.a.akamaiedge.net [131.203.5.178]) times out.

 

2 Degrees have asked me to reply to an email with any other specific examples, and I am also after any other ideas anyone can suggest for them to check out.

Think this will be network migration related.....

Also just tried using a VPN (Tunnelbear) to a NZ endpoint over the ADSL connection and sites work correctly. Disconnect the VPN and back to specific sites not working again.

This is definitely a routing issue! @chrisvp @sounddude

I can't browse stuff.co.nz, farmers.co.nz and cannot access the microsoft site to give my kid more Minecraft time (he's not happy lol).   If I RDP in to my work PC then I can access web sites as normal.

Tried farmers.co.nz and stuff.co.nz and both not working for me either.

Not only for you in Northland, but for me as well  - New Plymouth Tuatahi Fibre on 2Degrees.

 

 

 

Same websites - stuff.co.nz, farmers.co.nz, Xero - all timeout requests (Farmers.co.nz even times out with a simple ping request).

 

 

 

Interestingly, I did notice after the migration that I don't have any IPv6 DNS servers auto-allocated by 2Degrees on the Fritzbox 7560 - only the new Slingshot DNS servers on IPv4.

 

 

 

I do hope they do sort out their routing - was affected earlier in the week with their international outage (although running a Mobile Hotspot using my 2Degrees 4G phone worked fine to access the websites that I couldn't over Fibre).

I think it's been fixed.   Stuff and farmers are working now.

Still not resolved.

 

stuff.co.nz works with a bit of a lag, but farmers.co.nz, tvnz.co.nz, login.xero.com and primevideo.com still won't connect. Using a VPN to a NZ endpoint over the same internet connection works perfectly for all sites, disconnect the VPN and back to not working.

Managed to get through to 2 degrees and they tried switching off port filtering, and after a router reboot everything works correctly. Port filtering was turned back on and another reboot and still all working OK. 

 

So not sure what changed overnight and was picked up by the reboot, but all OK at the moment.

An Akamai CDN routing issue within our network was identified resolved over the weekend by our support team.
