where is your location? mine still works..so wanna know who is the unlucky one where they test the blocking...

well, for home users it is a known issue connecting to china websites. I have been having this issue for long time already. Sometimes can connect to taobao but sometimes cannot. It will be very slow. This is more like connection issue to china. However, pptv or pps streaming seems to be fine.

Then again, what you said might be true that TM is blocking.
