If you have CenturyLink and can't load DU [View all]

Please rec this thread to the moon, to help CenturyLink DU'ers who have not been able to read DU for A WEEK NOW!

Try the following links:

http://betterment.democraticunderground.com
http://election.democraticunderground.com
http://metamorphosis.democraticunderground.com
http://sync.democraticunderground.com
http://upload.democraticunderground.com

(no www before them)

If one works, don't assume it will always work - you may have to jump around - I certainly have had to do so.

Do the Koch brothers own CenturyLink? Enquiring minds want to know!
