Re: Is BSNL blocking facebook and google ?

Thanks all to those who responded. Ultimately turned out to be a case of a
hacked router. I am still trying to figure out, how it is possible, but
reading some online forums I guess that bunch of SOHO routers are fairly
easy to hack-into, and even modify the firmware. I wasn't so sure that it'd
be possible and be the cause, till I reflashed my router with original
firmware, and bingo, I'm able to browse google and facebook once again.
Sorry about raising a false alarm.
