Thanks for the archive link, can also confirm that actual link doesn't work on my Shaw Canada connection either.

Also on Shaw, and can't view this without a VPN. Any ideas why not? Weird.
Back in the day I had similar problems, but I used a different Canadian ISP. The issue was their DNS: for some reason it did not resolve some valid domains.

Switching to Google's DNS might fix your problem. If it doesn't, it's probably Shaw's routes.

Nifty! I'm on Access (a small regional ISP in SK), but traceroute indicates that the packets are disappearing at a Shaw router in Calgary. Looks like Access gets its connection from Bigpipe (Shaw's bulk offering).

Thanks for the archive link!
