[seqfan] Re: Verizon troubles

[Jack Brennen]

Perhaps unrelated, but I have Verizon FIOS home service in Pittsburgh, 
and I have similar behavior which pops up fairly regularly when trying 
to connect to sites, but mostly from Apple mobile devices.  It seems 
there might be some strangeness going on with the Verizon routing or 
filtering, but I haven't really dug into it very much.  I keep meaning 
to do a packet analysis to see if I can find a problem (I used to 
implement network routing protocols, so right up my alley).  But my 
suspicion is that if the problem is at my end, I'll see the problem and 
capture it, but if it's in Verizon's infrastructure, I'll only see the 
symptoms.
