T-Mobile Home Internet Can't Access Certain Sites/Cloud Services
Pasadena, CA - As of yesterday (11/9/2022) morning, I wasn't able to access certain websites/cloud (e.g. Ring.com, Alexa, a host of various work-related cloud-based services). Spent over an hour wit...
It's not just that the site/service is using AWS, it's that it's using IPv4 and AWS. The IPv4 routing is messed up. If I go to 'amazon.com' the DNS will resolve that to an IPv4 address, and that times out. If I go to 'www.amazon.com' the DNS resolves it to an IPv6 address and the connection succeeds. If I disable IPv6 on my PC's network adapter and go to 'www.amazon.com' it will connect, but it will be a lot slower and have pretty high packet loss.
Same issue in Hollywood, and I also went to Burbank for lunch yesterday and it was out there, too. I managed to get customer service to escalate to opening a ticket with the engineering team but they said the response time was going to be 72 hours. I got another rep on twitter to say they'll follow up and get back to me around 11am today, but I don't know if they will.
