Well the issue here for me anyway is not blocking by my ISP or company cause I'm not on a company computer My ISP don't care really what I do as long as I don't break the law I guess. Remember though, don't confuse the issue. Even the Coral Network could not get information intact from kh.google.com yesterday.
Like I said if that service cannot connect I don't have a chance. Look at all the servers they have around the planet. It's the closest one that connects to kh.google.com then it mirrored out. You guys there are sitting a few miles away from keyhole or your right in the same building going there no problem there is no problem. Go somewhere else and try to connect then. I'm online right now though. There is a problem it's been this way for weeks now. More and more people are reporting it every single day.

Even If I gave up on this thread like LuLu did the problem for you guys is not going to go away. More people will be coming here every day and saying they cannot connect. I've narrowed the problem right down to kh.google.com and you still are not looking into it. Maybe it's this, maybe it's that. No Maybe we are right and it is kh.google.com that is having the problem after all. Katrina seemed to make this problem even worse cause there is way more users now in a very short time. Forget Google Earth connecting this problem shows up also on maps.google.com for the data coming from kh.google.com. So it's not the program, it's your servers.
