Its reverse for me. The broadband fails to connect to HN but my mobile ISP is able to reach it fine.

  Because networks are connected to others via different paths, it's not unusual that one method of connectivity would work and one doesn't. Also the Internet has lots of asymmetric traffic, just because a forward path towards a destination may look the same from different networks, it doesn't mean the reverse path will be similar.

  Same for me in midwest US. I first thought I had broken my DNS filter again through regular maintenance updates, then I suspected my ISP/modem because it regularly goes out. I have never seen the behavior I saw this morning: some sites failing to resolve.

    I thought Cloudflare was having issues again, since I use their DNS servers, so I started by changing that. Then I tried restarting everything, modem/router/computer. Wasn't until I connected to a VM that a friend hosts that I was finally able to access HN, and thus saw this thread. Hopefully this will get fixed within a reasonable timespan.
