I can access it now on my desktop PC. No problem. StarHub internet. Toa Payoh area.

I can't access it at home but can do so on my mobile or at work.
Not sure if my ISP is blocking it though.
Which ISP are you on?

I doubt local astronomy is as popular as pornography for local ISPs to block it. Maybe some cabling issue. Especially for phone-line based ADSL internet connection.

Just checked again. Still can access CN on desktop PC with StarHub broadband internet and mobile phone internet with StarHub 3G.

So far what I gathered is those on Singnet seems to be the ones affected. I can use my M1 mobile to access the site. My home network is starhub so no issues too. Somehow just cannot get in with my tablet on the singnet network.

found that the dns for singtel quite cock-up. last time it had problem going into astronomers without borders.

I'm on singnet. Damn I posted some query cant even view it now. Would a call to singnet help do you think?

Forget about calling Singnet. Try to use different browser, if still not working, reset your browser, this would clear all cache etc in your system. If dns is really the issue, I think you can use some other dns from the Internet. Last time i use to get a free one from dyndns. Not too sure if it is still free.

a good alt dns will be 8.8.8.8 this is google's should not fail u..
some isp will block ur connection if u not using their dns. not sure about singtel. probably not..

COMEX started. Bad time to call Singnet (or any telco) for help. Lines will be even more difficult to get through.
