Something is afoot. I'm not one to ascribe intent, malignant or otherwise, without some proof, but it's odd that every site except FR works fine on Comcast (and that every site including FR works fine on AT&T).
I’m voting for Bernie ‘cause he’ll give me free stuff.
I have Tmobil also I haven’t tried to mess with my phone yet it is android and a little trickier than my iPad!!! I thought it was the new cable company change over, however with TMobil problem also I DON’T know what the heck is going on!!! I think it is an FR problem!!!
Hey LAZ Vote Trump!!!!
Vote Trump!
I CALLED Frontier yesterday couldn’t understand a word this Indian person was saying, I was SCREAMING he’s trying to tell me it wasn’t their fault I wasn’t buying it for a minute!!! I finally hung up on him cause I couldn’t understand him anyway!!! I got onto the site because of DOUGHTY ONE’S caucus thread, it just popped into the search page I clicked on it and it brought me to his caucus thread!! I saw other people having the same problem and managed to solve the DNS problem!!! I feel really bad now because T Mobil is also not working, and many other carriers!!! I mean I was just screaming at this poor guy and their stupid company!!! I really think I need an intervention when it comes to FR, I think I am OUT OF CONTROL!!!!
Yes there are smart ones here that is undeniable !!!
Same problem on TW in Raleigh but not an issue on Verizon mobile
Comcast/Xfinity gives FR the boot in NJ.
I’ve been chatting online with TWC people all morning. They say the website is compromised
I can only access now via ATT on my phone
Very frustrating

Okay, then I misunderstood your original post. FWIW, a “browser hijack” is a legitimate technical term referring to a BHO (Browser Helper Object) that is installed when you run certain software.
If it’s just a Charter website that comes up, change your home page in your browser. Unless they’re using some sort of portal/proxy, none of your personal browsing preferences should change.
209.157.64.200 www.freerepublic.com
Adding that entry to the Hosts file is the simplest way to fix this DNS problem. Thanks for reminding me of it!
This trick will work for Mac or Linux too. Just search your computer to locate the Hosts file and then edit that file to include “209.157.64.200 www.freerepublic.com”. I cleared my browser cache, cookies and history, then closed and restarted the browser. No problem!
Yes...I spoke too soon.
I had the initial problem...it cleared up...and now, it’s back. I’ve cut off Wi-Fi (on phone) and am now on cellular data access.
Thanks,
I did that.. on my laptop, and it now works. Not sure what I will do on my Ipad and phone?
While on-line with TWC, they had me do a “tracert” from the command prompt. It showed that the problem is not happening in the TWC system. The last 6 “hops” are the ones in their system...
The hang up is coming in Hop 13.... who knew there were so many transfers? Every time it gets there, it times out.
They said I should contact the site to let them know.

sudo gedit /etc/hosts

Nah, not gedit. Been usin’ vi since Slick Willy was working with the Arkansas State Police! ;-)
