Are you unable to access HN from https:// as well as http://? I know of some recent issues where some Comcast ip ranges in San Francisco were unable to access the site without switching to https.

View on HN

I'm able to get to the site on http now but a few months back I was having the same problem. I couldn't get to the site on http so was using proxies for a while but then realized https worked fine. Not really sure what was going on.. but like I said, all is well now. I'm on Time Warner in the Raleigh NC area.

Yeah, you can't use this site without https on Comcast anymore.

I've had the https site bookmarked for months now because http is banned randomly at least half the time.
