Verizon blocking LinkedIn

Hello to everyone on this forum. I am writing for the first time. I am a new verizon customer (FiOS, Home). My services have been running well untill I realized that i am not able to access LinkedIn. This happened about two days back. When i called support they told me that they cannot do anything, but open a trouble ticket. 

I am still wondering why would verizon suddenly block LinkedIn out of all the sites. I don't know what to do now as i need to access that site. Can anyone give any suggestions? I have tried everything from restarting the computer, restarting the router, clearing cookies..... 

would appreciate any suggestions

Thank you

Rachna

I have this issue as well, so it's not just you. However, I can reach touch.www.linkedin.com. That's a mobile site though, and missing a lot of desktop browser features.

There is no reason VZ would block LinkedIn.

I have no trouble reaching it.

However, there have been internet issues unrelated to VZ that have caused problems reaching a number of sites.

See the following new article:

One thing you might try is releasing your WAN IP address and try and get an address in a different IP block.

I don't think it was deliberately blocked, but there was some kind of issue with VZs network. I could actually ping it, but not get a web page response. I got on today for the first time in several days, so maybe it is fixed.
