Google blocking search

The issue seems to be slowly getting worse for my area at least.  Google isn't even accepting the CAPTHA verification on a couple of my devices.  I just recorded 6 minutes of CAPTHA entries (motorcycles, crosswalks, traffic lights, stairs, and busses) and still couldn't get into a normal Google search.  Finally gave up….   

This issue is happening in Louisiana, for me the IP's that are having the issue are all on the 172.59.104.xx subnet. Called and was told it is an issue with google, but google will not resolve the issue and says its tmobile. This morning I could not even get to this tmobile community site without the use of my vpn.

I can't see how T-Mobile can blame Google for the issue when my neighbors all use the internet from different providers (Verizon included) without issue.  If it's only happening with T-Mobile, then they have to get their IP locations corrected.

I agree but I’m not going to argue with someone in a call center, those ppl are just reading from a script and have no troubleshooting or tech abilities.

@HeavenM, can you provide any updates to this issue? Seems this is still a very active issue that is not being handled (or at the very least properly communicated) by T-Mobile. What is being done to rectify this?

Same issue here on all computers. Sometimes can just check the I am not a robot box and other times have to select images from a grid. Very annoying. Today it was a complete block and would not allow any captcha options. Did I mention it is very annoying? Switching to DuckDuckGo as search engine.

26 days and counting! 😊

I personally haven't noticed a difference using iOS devices or non-iOS devices. I get the captcha basically every time I Google on both my iPhone and Macbook. As usual, rebooting the gateway is useless. I've also noticed the captchas getting more aggressive- sometimes the images it gives are so distorted that I have to actually put effort into solving it. 

Additionally, I have two internet lines, one using a Google Nest mesh Wifi network, and the other using the wifi that's built into the gateway. I saw some say that the error had something to do with the mesh router, but my line that uses the stock router's wifi still gets the captcha just as much as my mesh one does.

Same issues in Gainesville, FL

The same message came up here, and also you may not be able to post comments on YouTube because of the blocking.  There is a work-around though.  You can use a VPN to change your IP.  Windscribe once had some free VPN services, and some other VPN companies offer deals on Stacksocial.

Hey there. That is a really weird error to be getting on a search. If I am understanding correctly, this error pops up right after typing a search before any search results come up. I would love to get some more information about the situation, so I can pass along the message for the really techy people to dig in and find out why. If you are comfortable sharing, I would love to know what you searched for, what time with time zone, and a screenshot of the error. If there is a hiccup with a set of our IP addresses and Google, then we want to tackle that asap. Thanks for sharing so we can figure it out!
