Hopefully just a hiccup with cloudflare (one of our service providers), but if it keeps happening, let us know.

Experienced exactly the same thing here, except it was saying Atlanta instead of Ashburn.

Happened to me, too. Hit reload and it's working fine now. Hiccup?

Looks to me like BYC gave y'all all "Timeouts". Have y'all been naughty or nice?

Different server locations?

Cloud flare is a so called »content-delivery network« (CDN), basically they duplicate the content of highly frequented web-pages to different locations and serve requests from there.
No clue what "Ashburn" was meant, but it seems that the nearest cloudflare-server to WV is located in Atlanta.
The error message is basically finger pointing from cloudflare: »Ey your browser is working, our cloudflare-server in Ashburn/Atlanta/… is working too, but the web-site you're trying to reach isn't. It's not our fault!«

Other CDN's, like Akamai just report a "connection time-out error" and don't blame anybody.

Afaik, XFinity is distributed over TV-cable - it is a ComCast brand. So if you can have a telephone-line - and the big phone companies are obligated by law to give you access to a phone-line - you can have ADSL. The difference is that a TV-cable is shared between all end-users but the phone-line is your dedicated pair of copper-wires. If you have a nerd (me!) on your TV-cable, trying to download the whole internet, your internet will be slow.
However, due to the length of the phone-line, ADSL may be slow too.

I have no idea what you just said except, nerd..tv, cable, internet...

I think we get those from time to time when @MattW is working on stuff.

Sorry to hear that. When you say "froze", can you be more specific? We have hundreds of visitors every day using iPad's, and aren't getting flooded with issues, so it seems to be a very isolated incident.

It could be specific pages, ads on a page, browser, internet connection, or any myriad of other things... which makes it very hard to duplicate and isolate / fix.
