I can't reach https://www.who.int/ through my consolidated connection using any browser, and pinging the URL returns a can't find host error.

I have no problem loading the URL on mobile and through a VPN.

Interestingly, I can still view the WHO website on Consolidated's network by pointing directly to their IP address: 158.232.12.119. Attempts to ping the IP address time out.

I've verified with a few of my friends who get their internet through Consolidated that they are also unable to load the site in any browser, but can connect to the IP address.

Wondering if any other Consolidated customers can corroborate, or whether this is just some bizarre anomaly unique to my zip code.

edit: I should also mention that I've had no problem viewing any other .int website.
