Ugh. Anyone else having this problem - I can't connect to the MB website. I tried Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Same message: cannot open because the server cannot be found. I have the site bookmarked since I set up my account ages ago. It also fails when I click on the link on the 1st post in the thread for resellers.


I have had the same problem for several weeks. I have tried multiple web browsers, from multiple computers tablets and phones, using both my home and office, and mobile data network, & I cannot log onto his site.

Same here: no problem. Checked all I have, save the Windows box: Firefox, Safari, Chrome...on the iPad same, Safari and Chrome.

Usually this inability (to connect) is an actual connection problem, or, your cache is corrupt or inaccurate. Try clearing the cache. If you're using Firefox or Chrome this can be down automatically...onClose.

I feel better that I'm not alone. I guess I'll have to snag one from a reseller. I set up accounts there too just in case!

150mb/sec up & down has garnered F5 war success many times.
No, I mean as a company...they are probably blocking the host that MB uses.

BTW, my Comcast has you beat (not by a ton or anything)...and I think they suck too, so.... :D

I want Google Fiber to come here BADDD

Edit: Comcast is still cable though, so your up kicks my tooshy

I called Verizon FIOS. Spent over 30 minutes with a capable fellow. We ran tracert and reset my IP. He checked his internal memos. No blocks. He stated that the markbugs.com site may be on an out of date "bogon filter".

For almost 4 years I've never had an issue accessing MB till a few weeks ago.

Nothing lost yet, folks. I can add the GEM to my basket but cannot check out...yet.
