Is wikipedia blocked by sri lanka IP's?

[sharkteeth]

Hi friends, I've been trying to access Wikipedia for almost a week and it seems it is been blocked. I am using Air-tel internet. Does anyone has the same problem?

All OK with dialog. May be issue with Air tell.

Wikipedia working OK with SLT ADSL also
Maybe an issue with your Airtel connection.

OR
try refreshing your machine's cache.

ado sirawata.. same problem here!!!! I'm using Airtel net as well.. a week ago only this problem started!

I thought Wikipedia was under maintenance... But now it seems our ISP is the problem.. Why the hell would they block Wikipedia... Should we report this to Airtel..

I already informed AIRTEL regards to this matter and they contacted me. I will keep the threat updated regards to the matter. Airtel has problems with many sites. I thought they are blocked until i found the problem also applies to wikipedia. There is no reason to block a encyclopedia unless. I am sure it's not because wikipedia contains information about human reproductive system and birth control methods.

Machan Airtel eke shared IPs (203.X.X.X) godak sites walin ban karala.
stopforumspam / project honeypot wage database wala IP eka thiyenawa.
Anyway, if you really need a site, try http://proxy.ayesh.me/en.wikipedia.org

[Ayeshlive]

twitter.com is also not loading in my end.

Maybe Airtel wants the Sri Lankans to be stupid by denying them access to global knowledge on Wikipedia.

Another matter: If i was Dialog (or mobitel, or SLTBB or Etiselat) Promo team, my next ad campaign would be:

Gain access to a world of knowledge..
We do not block Wikipedia.. Do Dialog Broadband!!!!

hahaha

Not only Airtel Dialog too

Dialog too has been blocking both twitter and Wiki. It took more than a week for them just to accept that there is a routing problem.

And this is still not fixed.

Please check this also. http://www.trc.gov.lk/broadband/225...play-the-localness-to-subscribers-by-act.html

As per the guidelines, it is mandatory to inform the subscribers in an event of a submarine cable failure or in the event of maintenance work in the submarine cable systems if the event has a direct impact on the experience of the Internet users. According to the NBCC’s observations the broadband operators are not keen to communicate such events to the subscribers in an effective manner.

Apart from failures in the international links, which is beyond the control of the local operator, some operators pay scant respect to their customers and frequently carrying out maintenance work in networks affecting the service without prior notice to their valued customers. Many instances were found in the past where some operators have even changed the network settings without informing the subscribers which are vital for the operations at the subscriber’s end. As a result of thoughtless action on the part of some broadband operators, the subscribers are facing many difficulties.

I think we should complain TRC.
