Why the heck isn't mefi loading!?

I'm asking mefi why ask.mefi doesn't work! Ever since I got a new ISP, metafilter won't load!

This has been going on for 2 weeks; I figured the site was just down.
I tried accessing metafilter on my boyfriend's computer, but it didn't load on his either, so I deduced it is our internet connection.

Right now, I am using a friend's dialup account and yes it is working.

So what's the deal?! What could possibly be the problem?
I have had absolutely no problems with any other site -- it's only mefi!

In case you need to know, I'm using a Mac, and we've got ADSL1.

This post was deleted for the following reason: this has been done before and mefi related questions go to metatalk

 
Previously? Try the suggestions in that thread. Metafilter previously had trouble with MTU values and fragmentation making the site unreachable for users on certain router/VPN configurations.

I'm not sure if the issue was solved or not but there has been a few threads here and on MetaTalk.

Maybe there should be a link to a solution in the sidebar. If a solution exists. I was having this problem for weeks until my internet went out for some sort of upgrade and suddenly metafilter worked again. I just thought it was a problem on my end until I saw a thread like this last night. Clearly this is a problem that a lot of people are having.
