Cannot access SL (web and grind) via Internet provider, but can via mobile network... Any ideas why?

So there is an interesting and bizarre thing happened to me:

Around half hour ago, I was using Firestorm Viewer (was creating a script for the HUD), suddently everything starts lag... My first tough was laggy sim, so I tried to move in sandbox sim. But Firestrom viewer stuck me in on spot and not teleported. When Im cancelled teleport request (around in 5 seconds) I was teleported at new location but stuck in the middle of air - no land (sim) was seen, just water and sky.

From that point all problems begin, I turned off my viewer and tried to log in back, but was stuck at "Loging in.." message screen for ages... Cleaned cache (as suggested in wiki) but still no luck, however problem touched not just grind but SL official web page itself too. On SL webpage I could not to load marketplace, nor other SL's indexed web pages but this forum... With ages taking loading indicator or via "Secure Connection Failed" message (Like 404) on marketplace and second life main (board) page.

My tough was that I got banned or blocked because other web pages and services loading quickly and fine (Youtube, Google, IMVU) and software Skype was functioned normally. So, I connected my phone to mobile network and hosted its Wi-Fi Hot-Spot, letting my laptop to access mobile internet via Hot-Spot Wi-Fi mobile software. Now I can load all (any) SL page and get on the grid...

After a little switched back to my Inter provider's modem and now everything seems to be just fine... The though bothering me, if something screw up in provider's network - shouldn’t all web pages and services to lost connection? So why just SL's service was "disconnected"? And what was all about, or time to change my internet provider?

Ty, for reading my dilemma. :catfrustrated:

It sounds like your router screwed up and lost the connection, or at least was losing enough data in transit that your viewer and the SL servers were severely out of sync.  Try just rebooting it (and your modem too, for good measure).  That may be all it takes.  Not to be pessimistic, but the other possibility is that the router has decided to die and needs to be replaced.  Mine did that last month, at a cost of slightly over $100.  One way to check that possibility is to temporarily unplug the cable from your computer to the router and then plug it directly into the modem, bypassing the router completely.  If everything works, chances are good that your router is in trouble.  (Don't leave the cable plugged into the modem, BTW.  You'll lose the firewall protection that your router has been providing, if you bypass it permanently.)  If you have been using a wireless Internet connection, I suggest moving to a direct cable or DSL connection.  Plenty of people have no trouble with wifi, but Linden Lab neither recommends nor supports it.

Incidentally, it is "normal" to get stuck at "Logging in ... " after you have had a severe crash.  The servers go through a standard routine when you log out, saving information about your last position and whatever.  If that routine is interrupted, the servers will think that you are still logged in ... at least until they sense that something is wrong.  It can take a minute or more before they close the connection completely, during which they won't let you log back in.

I've had this problem to a number of times. I thought I had fixed it but it has started to happen again. Seems to really be triggered if I have two avatars on at the same time. I get the same limited use of some web pages. They either take ages to load or don't load at all. When this happens I either get impossible lag in-world or I can't do things like cross sims or even see other sims. The problem lasts for a time before returning to normal. I did find one article about this which pointed at it being windows defender. If you open up windows defender you can make exclusions as there is an "add an exclusion" options and I made sure I listed SL folders and so on. This seems to fix the problem but there was a windows update which seems to of started the problem again. Sorry, but I can't find the original link which had the suggestions. I can't work out truly what it is though. I know another who has the same problem as well as soon and she has more than one avatar online. But it does feel like something triggers windows to block or shut off something that gives limited connection. If anyone else has any input it would be interesting to hear?
