AT&T has restored img.4chan.org (for me)

This morning after browsing /b/ for twenty minutes and being brain-dead, I have realized my access to it has been restored. I don’t know if this has been restored to the whole AT&T network though. (South California)

Edit: Blockage is now lifted globally!!! http://status.4chan.org/ for more info

AT&T, now blocking img.4chan.org (/b/ and /r9k/)

Apparently AT&T has now blocked the url img.4chan.org throughout it’s service. This means /b/ and /r9k/ are now inaccessible under AT&T’s internet service. It’s nice to see that AT&T have such good customer support. I am under a sneaking suspension  that they may indeed be using child labour to man their customer support chat. It’s nice to see an ISP “caring” for it’s customers with a child’s touch, and stating that they don’t “blcok” websites.

I spoke to AT&T customer chat and here is what I got:

Apparently they think it is 4chan’s fault that this interruption of service is linked to them, and not theirs.

I am a AT&T customer, so, FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU-
