Unable to access specific 'net site "satelliteguys.us"

HI all

 

I'm having a strange problem that may be related to Verizon.  I would like to eliminate the Provider as the source of this issue and I'm not sure how to do this with my FIOS service.

 

My Information:

 

- Windows 7 x64   2 PC's

- IE10 on one PC and IE11 on the other PC.  Both IE's are non-enhanced mode (32 bit).

- FIOS 'net service 75/35

 

 

I've been unable to access this site since 07/04:

 

satelliteguys.us

 

According to a couple of 'net test sites, satelliteuys.us is up and running ok.

 

Symptom:  When trying to access the site, the browser "hourglasses" for a minute or so and then displays the usual page "Oops! Internet Explorer could not connect to www.satelliteguys.us

 

All of my other bookmark sites, as well as some random sites that I accessed from a Google search page, are working ok.

 

Some things that i've tried:

 

- I disabled my IE "add blocker" add-on "Privacychoice.org" and tried again.

 

- Tried IE with "Activex" enabled and disabled.

 

- Tried IE with Compatibility Mode enabled and disabled.

 

- Cleared cookies in IE11 on one of my PC's.

 

- I downloaded Firefox latest version and am also unable to acces the same 'net site. I get this error after hourglassing for about 30-45 seconds:

 

"The connection has timed out.  The server at www.satelliteguys.us is taking too long to respond."

 

Other things that I've tried:

 

- Restarting my PC's

- Temporarily disabled my AV product and my anti-malware product to eliminate possible firewall setting issues or a blacklist issue.

 

- I called a friend that's with another provider.  He's running Win 7x64 with Firefox.  He was able to access the site.

 

I have couple of questions:

 

- Is there a way to check a "blacklist" or a possible list that Verizon may have available that's possibly blocking this specific site?

 

- Could another Verizon FIOS customer try to access this site and let me know if they're able to access the home page of the site?
